Summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and during the October 2023 attacks.

The court alleges actions like depriving Gaza civilians of essential resources.

Israel and the U.S., non-members of the ICC, reject the warrants, with Netanyahu calling them antisemitic.

Hamas also criticized the decision.

The practical enforcement of these warrants remains uncertain, as the ICC lacks authority to compel arrests.

    I remember saying this should be done at the start of the conflict and I was called a genocide loving Nazi for saying Hamas was just as bad. Hamas leaders are wealthy old men who live in luxury outside of Gaza

      Sinwar and the others listed in the warrant were inside Gaza. Pretending otherwise was part of Israeli propaganda

          That’s not what I said, I said that it’s propaganda to pretend Hamas’ leaders are not in Gaza.

              What country was Sinwar found in again? A spokesman or negotiator in Qatar is not the same as the leadership. Try again.
