International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim AA Khan has applied for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh. The charges include war crimes and crimes against humanity amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Khan cited alleged crimes by Hamas, such as murder and taking hostages, and by Israeli officials, including starvation of civilians and attacks on civilian populations. The warrants underscore the ICC's commitment to upholding international humanitarian law and demonstrating the equal value of all human lives during conflicts.
