ICC seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leaders and Israel’s Netanyahu | Int'l Criminal Court
The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, Karim A. A. Khan today (20 May) issued applications for arrest warrants for three senior leaders of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab, and Ismail Haniyeh, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant for crimes committed on and after 7 October 2023.
Khan said, “I can also confirm today that I have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Joav Galant bear criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of the state of Palestine from at least the 8th of October 2023. The crimes include starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, willfully causing great suffering, serious injury to body or health or cruel treatment,
willful killing or murder, and intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, as well as crimes against humanity of extermination and /or murder, persecution, and allegations of crimes of committing other inhuman acts. It's alleged that these crimes were committed in the context of the ongoing armed conflict and as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Gaza,
pursuant to a state policy. Unfortunately, these crimes continue to this day. My office submits that these individuals, through a common plan, have systematically deprived the civilian population of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.”
On the Israeli leadership, he said, “I can also confirm today that I have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Joav Galant bear criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of the state of Palestine from at least the 8th of October 2023. The crimes include starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, willfully causing great suffering, serious injury to body or health or cruel treatment, willful killing, or murder, and intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, as well as crimes against humanity of extermination and /or murder, persecution, and allegations of crimes of committing other inhuman acts. It's alleged that these crimes were committed in the context of the ongoing armed conflict and as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Gaza, pursuant to a state policy. Unfortunately, these crimes continue to this day. My office submits that these individuals, through a common plan, have systematically deprived the civilian population of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.”
The ICC Prosecutor stressed that “Israel, like all states, has the right to defend its population. It has every right to ensure the return of hostages that have been criminally and callously taken. Those rights, however, do not absolve Israel of its obligations to comply with international humanitarian law, intentionally causing death, starvation, injury, and suffering to the civilian population, including so very many women and children. are criminal means to achieve military and political goals.”
He said, “no foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader, no one can act with impunity. Nothing on earth can justify willfully depriving human beings, including women, women and children, babies, the old and the young, of the basic necessities required for life. Nothing, nothing on earth can justify hostage taking or the targeting and killing of civilians. The independent judges of this International Criminal Court are the sole arbiters as to whether the necessary standard for the issuance of warrants of arrest have been met. The judges of the International Criminal Court must be now given the space to do their work and to dispassionately and objectively review the evidence that we have submitted.”
To conclude, Khan said, “it's my strong conviction that if we do not demonstrate our willingness to apply the law equally, if it is seen as being applied selectively, we will be creating the conditions for its complete collapse. And in doing so, we would be loosening the remaining bonds that hold us together, the stabilizing connections between all communities, all individuals, the safety net to which all victims look to in times of suffering. This is the true risk we face at this perilous moment. Now more than ever, we must collectively demonstrate that international humanitarian law, the foundational baseline for human conduct during conflict, applies to all individuals and applies equally across situations addressed by my office and by the court. This is how we will prove, tangibly, in real terms, for all victims, that the lives of all human beings, wherever they may be, have equal value.”

You think a warrant issued by ICC is a laughing matter? It’s as serious as it can be. All those leaders/countries complicit are also by default committing an illegal act that includes those who supply weapons or cash for weapons. Therefore it’s no surprise that Western leaders are saying they don’t agree. But International Law isn’t about whether one agrees it’s about the Evidence.
理由がなんであれ1人でも人を殺した人は逮捕されそう決断した権力者は罰せられるべきだ。
Who can execute the arrest warrants?

anuarmohamedan8582 My english for explaining this might be a little off, I could be using wrong terms, but anyway: The countries who have rectified the agreement of ICC have an obligation to arrest the convicted individual if he visits that country. If I don´t missremember, 134 countries are part of the agreement. So it´s not like an arrest order means someone´s going to get them wherever they are, but it means their ability to travel is greatly severed. Also, getting convicted in the ICC is a huge stain on ones reputation, meaning it will be harder to keep a respectful appeareance. In short, it will become harder to be an international politician.

And what about the USA and Germany as the primary arms sellers to Israel? And Israels parliament is equally guilty for enabling Netanyahus war crimes.

Kenapa Hamas juga di tangkap? Mereka menuntut Hak mereka yang selama ini di ambil Israel. Ingat sebelum 7 oktober Israel jelas melakukan pembantain. Tuduhan terhadap Hamas semua bohong tidak ada bukti!! Ini sekenario ICC sengaja memasukan pimpinan Hamas dalam daftar, Lalu Amerika melindungi satanyaho. Dan pada akhirnya hanya Hamas yang di tangkap. Luarbiasa skenario Amerika dan negara Barat ini. Muak dengan Amerika yang selalu ikut campur negara orang, Tapi sering melanggar Hak asasi manusia

In my Opinion Criminal activities by National leaders of International significance i.e. International Criminal Code of Conduct under Section & Sub Section by UNSC as agreed upon by all UN nations could be a norm for filling a case demanding an arrest warrant, only after the ICJ, without bias , have decided that it is a crime or not but with both i.e. the Complainant & the Accused parties are present before the ICJ & filed a reply in written of the case .Will the UN vote for the same or else the UN will be a failure . These goes for all national leaders i.e. Israel - Hamas Ukraine- Russia .India Pakistan.. etc ... Make it Public through the Media ..

Somehow in the video description, there are plenty of mentions of Israel and Israeli leaders but the word 'Hamas' and the three names of the Hamas leaders are each mentioned exactly one time only. Why do we not also get a written statement about the Hamas crimes over international law? The call is clearly for equal treatment for both sides, as such explicitly mentioned in the video.

What every judge can determine with certainty: the person who starts the fight is also guilty of harming him, the court in The Hague court is unable to understand. Could Israel, which not only did not provoke Hamas, but tried in every way to appease it, even by sending very large sums of money, be to blame for the outbreak of the war? Did Hamas, like a military organization, go out to fight the IDF? No! It established itself among the civilian population and fought like an underground terrorist organization, on the backs and blood of its brothers in Gaza.
