International Criminal Court seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas

The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the October 7 attacks on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza, the court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, told CNN .

Khan said the ICC is also seeking warrants for Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, as well as two other senior Hamas leaders - Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, the leader of the Al Qassem Brigades and better known as Mohammed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas.

The warrants against Israeli politicians mark the first time the ICC has targeted the top leader of a close ally of the United States.

The decision puts Netanyahu in the company of Russian President Vladimir Putin, for whom the ICC issued an arrest warrant over Moscow's war on Ukraine.
