Arrest warrants sought for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas leader for war crimes: International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court announced Monday it is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on war crime charges in a move widely ripped as a “historic disgrace.”

The charges are tied to the deadly Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza, the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, said in a statement Monday.

Warrants are also being sought for Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Hamas terror leader Yahya Sinwar and two other top Hamas officials, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh.

The charges against the Hamas terror chiefs include extermination, murder, torture, rape and taking hostages, all as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
