Benjamin Netanyahu and Yaya Sinwar, head of Hamas, could be wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity and an international arrest warrant could soon hang on them from today. The International Criminal Court (ICC) will have to decide whether to accept the requests of chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who announced this today in an exclusive interview with CNN.
The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court wants to arrest Netanyahu
The British judge told the American broadcaster that the ICC prosecutor’s office has decided to extend the charges to both sides of the conflict that broke out on 7 October 2023 with the Hamas massacres on Israeli territory.
Those under investigation at Hamas are Sinwar, leader of the movement, together with those responsible for the attacks, massacres, kidnappings of people and the violence of 7 October: Ismael Hanyieh, political leader of Hamas, and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, the leader of the Al Qassem Brigades sadly made known in the intrusion into Israeli territory.
Together with Netanyahu, however, the Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, is currently under investigation in Israel, on whom hangs the responsibility of the command of the armed forces which since 7 October have violently attacked the Gaza Strip, causing over 35 thousand deaths, 70% of such as women and children.

Let us remember that the International Criminal Court is a body separate from the International Court of Justice before which Israel is facing the trial for the risk of genocide in the Strip promoted by South Africa. Established by the Treaty of Rome in 2002, the ICC analyzes the responsibilities of individuals, before that of States, in cases of violation of international law.
Jordan calls for indictment of Israel for war crimes
Jordan demands an international investigation into what it says were many war crimes committed during Israel’s military campaign against Hamas in Gaza. This was stated by Amman’s Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi.
In a press conference with the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, Safadi said that those responsible for the documented crimes should be brought to justice. Israel strenuously denies that its troops committed war crimes.

Another attack, again on Nuseirat, killed 5 people, the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said.
