The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants against Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Moreover, the ICC also issued warrants for Hamas leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri under the same offence.
The development comes after the ICC prosecutor Karim Khan earlier in May announced that he was seeking arrest warrants for alleged war crimes linked to the October 7 attack last year.
“The Chamber considered that there are reasonable grounds to believe that both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity,” the three-judge panel wrote in its unanimous decision to issue warrants, Reuters reported.
However, Israel has rejected the jurisdiction and has denied war crimes in Gaza.
It has claimed to have killed Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif, in airstrike but Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied the claims.
