ICC Issues Arrest Warrants For Benjamin Netanyahu & Hamas Citing WAR CRIMES
The chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC) has said today he HAS APPLIED FOR arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant - as well as three Hamas leaders.
In an interview on Monday, Prosecutor Karim Khan said the warrants are for war crimes and crimes against humanity over the Hamas terror group's deadly October 7 attack on Israeli and Israel's subsequent war in the Gaza Strip.
He said warrants were also being sought for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri (aka Mohammed Deif), the leader of the Al Qassem Brigades - Hamas' military wing, and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' political leader."
The US has never recognized the ICC as having any authority or jurisdiction over US citizens. Neither do China, Russia, Israel, and dozens of other countries.
Its authority is only supposed to extend to countries that do not have their own judicial systems.
US President Biden muddied the waters in dealing with this political ICC by encouraging the Ukrainians to pursue ICC war crimes charges vs Russian President Putin, which makes every world leader or any US citizen (including military members) vulnerable to being pursued by a distant international court.
