ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Hamas leaders

ai generated text

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has announced its intention to seek arrest warrants for senior Hamas and Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three top Hamas leaders: Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri. The warrants are sought over war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Israel-Gaza conflict. According to ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, he has reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant bear responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, willfully causing great suffering, serious injury to body or health, or cruel treatment. The prosecutor also believes that the three Hamas leaders are responsible for similar crimes. The ICC's decision has been met with outrage in Israel, with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz calling it "a historical disgrace." Netanyahu himself has described the move as "scandalous."

  1. PS
    Hamas
    1. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and is still holding dozens of innocent people hostage, including Americans. This decision does nothing to help, and could jeopardize, ongoing efforts to reach a cease-fire agreement that would get hostages out and surge humanitarian assistance in.
  2. Amal Clooney
    1. The law that protects civilians in war was developed more than 100 years ago and it applies in every country in the world regardless of the reasons for a conflict.
  3. IL
    Benjamin Netanyahu
    Israeli Government
    1. This is like creating a moral equivalence after Sep 11 between President (George W) Bush and Osama bin Laden, or during World War II between FDR (Franklin D Roosevelt) and Hitler.
  4. US
    Joe Biden
    Democratic Party
    1. I will always ensure that Israel has everything it needs to defend itself against Hamas and all its enemies.
    2. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.
    3. Contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), what's happening in Gaza is not genocide. We reject that.

    Cyril Ramaphosa
    African National Congress Party
    1. The law must be applied equally to all in order to uphold the international rule of law.
  6. IL
    Bezalel Smotrich
    Religious Zionist Party
    1. Arrest warrants against them are arrest warrants against us all.
    2. We have not seen such a show of hypocrisy and hatred of Jews as that of the Hague Tribunal since Nazi propaganda.
  7. US
    Tom Cotton
    Republican Party
    1. My colleagues and I look forward to make sure neither Khan, his associates nor their families will ever set foot again in the United States.
  8. US
    Brian Mast
    Republican Party
    1. America doesn't recognize the International Criminal Court, but the court sure as hell will recognize what happens when you target our allies.
