Does ICC have 'jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants' against Israeli and Hamas leaders?

The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, announced arrest warrants against two Israeli leaders — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — and three Hamas leaders. The prosecutor focused on actions taken by Hamas on October 7 when militants stormed southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking some 250 hostages, and on Israel's military response in Gaza, which has killed roughly 35,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry. As the ICC's top prosecutor places the heads of Israel and Hamas among world leaders infamous for war crimes and heinous acts against humanity, FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih is joined by Rosa Freedman, Professor of Law Conflict and Global Development and the Director of the Global Development Division at the University of Reading.

[ivocyrillo]

Shame on you, it's not journalism.

[Dumka]

"But Israel is a democracy" What does that have to do with the war crime?

[bittertruth]

Whether the ICC has jurisdiction or not, a war crime is a war crime and Netanyapoo must be jailed

[JeanMarcelino-qrju]

Some countries didn't participate for bad reason 😂😂😂😂

Could you have found a bigger shill to interview?

[tulyatungaumar]

Let the Butcher of gaza face justice for their crimes

It does not seem to me that this professor is all that impartial and objective here.

I would say Israel is a semi-authoritarian or authoritarian state with some democratic institutions. If you look at their press freedom index, they’re number 101 slightly ahead of another ‘democracy’, Nigeria.

[MilenaBlazanovic-oqiy]

Not gonna happen. Neither they will have this warrant, neither will Israel or Hamas bring them their leaders, this is hilarious.

[niveax]

Please that is a court founded by Western countries for exactly cases like that. Now they are talking politics. It is a court there should not be politics all evidence. P

[hustlerzentertainment]

why no one wasn't reasoning like this when it was Putin ?

[sherbajwa]

Double standards that's all there is Western double standards.

[RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

The arrest warrant is not for Israelis jurisdiction but for those countries in the treaty. It means, if issued, they would need to arrest Bibi IF he travels to those countries.

[florentboucharel]

Your caption asks about "reasonable ground, " whereas your title asks about "jurisdiction." You're obviously very confused.

Let Benjamin Netanyahu continue with his activities in Gaza because he is innocent instead terrorists are the Hamas....ICC has no right to issue arrest warrant to Gallant & Benjamin because they defending their
