- Advertisement -The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar. Could these two men soon find themselves on wanted posters and charged with war crimes? In addition to Sinwar, Khan said the commander of the Hamas military wing Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri and the head of the Hamas political bureau Ismail Haniyeh are also responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. A senior Hamas official says the ICC seeking arrest warrants “equates the victim with the executioner”. The ICC prosecutor alleges that Israel’s prime minister and defence minister committed crimes including starvation of civilians as a weapon of war, murder, extermination, and intentional attacks on civilians.
