The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, as well
as Hamas’s military chief Mohammed Deif.
“The Chamber issued warrants of arrest for two individuals, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024,” the ICC said in a statement.Israel said in early August it had killed Deif in an air strike in southern Gaza in July, but Hamas has not confirmed his death.
The Palestinian Authority and militant group Hamas both welcomed the warrants — though without mentioning Deif. The ICC said the pair were also criminally responsible “for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population”.
