ICC prosecutor seeks arrest of Israeli and Hamas leaders | DW News

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor says there are reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The prosecutor is therefore seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. He has also applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders. Hamas carried out the October 7 terror attacks in Israel and is designated as a terrorist organization by many countries.

Waiting for Israel to claim that the ICC is anti-semitic. 😂😂

Now i understand why Isreali ministers were criticizing Netanyahu. They were distancing themselves against ICC warrants.

Germany is complicit in that. Will Germany be law-abiding now?

He’s also issued a warning about article 70 of the Rome Statute - that he will not tolerate interference or intimidation in the administration of justice. Republican Members of Congress have already threatened the ICC and ICJ, so hopefully arrest warrants are issued for them as well.

It's not hypocritical at all, they issued an arrest warrent for Putin, Netanyahu and The hamas terrorists. It seems like they are being quite consistent

[rossbaker]

He hasn’t just made this up, he has testimony from survivors who have left Gaza. He has satellite imagery examined by experts, and obviously the UN reports from various aid agencies operating in Gaza as well as obvious incrimination by the Israelis mentioned here.

[Herodotus__]

So, Germany was on the wrong side again in history!

[rossbaker]

Can’t believe it took 8 months for this to happen

[bobsthea]

yes finally, leaders from both side have to answer their crime against humanity

[SeanChYT]

This is nuts. Shut down the entire ICC.

[ninefoldgoose]

How do you hide or distort reality now, DW?

[JoaoSoares-rsec]

If they think this will stop Israel think again.

[speakup]

Israel 🇮🇱 be like: it's Anti- Semitic

[BIGGYBEAR]

remember its not about what can be implemented.. but its one for the history books for generations to come…

[mrecamping]

I just pictured Netanyahu with the Hamas leaders in the same cage at The Hague slap fighting each other during the trial… 🤣🤣🤣

[Elo-hvfw]

Same characters had Bobby Fisher arrested for playing chess.

[JustMonday-turx]

Names of the three Hamas leaders having got an arrest warrant?

[rodneyschwartz]

What about that leader from Sudan that had an official warrant to get him arrested. He is a free man up to today. These things are just a fart in the wind. Waste of time and money

[NinaRosado-mrpl]

You didn't get my application for Interpol? I'll wait for you're follow up answer

[sihr]

Step by step, justice is approaching…
