ICC Prosecutor Seeks Arrest Warrant for Israeli and Hamas Leaders, Including Netanyahu

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Monday he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in connection with their actions during the seven-month war between Israel and Hamas.

Karim Khan said that he believes Netanyahu, his defense minister Yoav Gallant and three Hamas leaders — Yehia Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh — are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel.

The prosecutor must request the warrants from a pre-trial panel of three judges, who take on average two months to consider the evidence and determine if the proceedings can move forward.

    Seeking warrants, not issuing. Israel is not an ICC member and is not subject to its proceedings. The most the prosecutor can do is request that member countries issue on their own accord. So, practically speaking, this is meaningless as a legal move. Politically, it is another matter.

    This is an obvious ploy by the ICC prosecutor to get a teaching job at Columbia.
    The ICC prosecutor could have done other things to work at Columbia like writing a thesis on the harmful effects of global warming, or taking over a university building with zip-ties, or excluding Jews from public spaces at colleges, or shouting down Pro-Israel speakers, or ripping down hostage posters.

      The dude is a joker., but the problem is the joke is at Isreal’s expense. Two if left standing he will do worse things in the future. This is nothing short of court sanctioned anti-semitism. In olden days the church or the priest started the progrom. This is a unmitigated hutzpa! As you can see it started with Biden and Schumer not to mention Sander attacking Bibi
