Find out why the International Criminal Court is pursuing arrest warrants for top Israeli and Hamas officials.

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim A.A. Khan KC, has made a significant move by filing applications for arrest warrants for prominent figures in the Israel-Gaza conflict. Among those targeted are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders related to alleged crimes during the 7 October attack and subsequent Gaza war. This bold step has sparked global interest in the ICC's pursuit of justice for war crimes.

Support for ICC prosecutions in the Israel-Gaza conflict has come from influential figures like Lord Justice Fulford, Amal Clooney, and other legal experts. The push for accountability and justice in the region has gained momentum with the ICC's latest efforts to bring alleged perpetrators to court. The move signifies a crucial development in holding leaders accountable for actions during times of conflict.

A panel of international law experts convened by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan KC has published a report endorsing the arrest warrants sought by the ICC. This expert validation adds further weight to the prosecutor's pursuit of justice in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The collaboration between legal experts and the ICC demonstrates a united front in seeking accountability and ensuring justice prevails.

The ICC's decision to seek arrest warrants for leaders on both sides of the conflict poses a significant challenge to diplomatic relations and international law. The outcome of this bold move will have far-reaching implications for future conflicts and the enforcement of international humanitarian law. The global community awaits the ICC's final decision on the arrest warrants, anticipating a landmark ruling that could shape the course of international justice for years to come.
