The International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim Khan, is asking thgat his agency approve arrest warrents against the Isreali President and the Defense Minister and Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar, and two others…
Israeli leeaders had not wanted to have this on their heads….
The Hamas people probably do NOT care since they are conviced the Isreali’s would be looking to make them disappear no matter waht happens in the future ….
They are holded up in tunnel’s in North Gaza…..
The International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim Khan, said Monday that he had requested arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas and for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel for war crimes and crimes against humanity in relation to the Oct. 7 attack and the war in Gaza.
In a statement, Mr. Khan said he was applying for arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Deif and Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas. He also said he was requesting warrants for Mr. Netanyahu and for Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant.
While Mr. Khan’s request must still be approved by judges from the court, the announcement is a blow to the government of Mr. Netanyahu and will likely fuel international criticism of Israel’s strategy in its seven-month campaign against Hamas and the war’s toll on Gaza’s civilian population.
There was no immediate response from the Israeli government or from Hamas. Israel is not a member of the court and does not recognize its jurisdiction in Israel or Gaza. But if warrants are issued, those named could be arrested if they travel to one of the court’s 124 member nations, which include most European countries but not the United States….
Israel has had massive protest’s against the Netanyahu Government ….
New protest’s will aimed at the countries Parliament….
Those protests have intensified as more hoatages have been found dead and the government contiunes to ignore trying to free any more that might be alive in it’s effort to hunt down Hamas fighters that keep popping up …..
The Netanyhu government is openly divided now…..
Israel’s Parliament was to be the focus of resurgent antigovernment protests on Monday as it prepared to open its summer session after a six-week recess.
Questions have been swirling about the stability of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, and the protests, primarily calling for early elections, came days after deep divisions within the wartime emergency cabinet burst into the open.
Before the assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7, mass rallies against a judicial overhaul plan, advanced by Mr. Netanyahu’s far-right and religiously ultraconservative governing coalition, had rocked Israel for months. The grass-roots leaders of those antigovernment protests had largely stepped back after the Hamas-led attacks, but on Monday, during a “Day of Disturbance,” many re-emerged to lead demonstrations….
…
…the scattered protests that have been building up over recent months have centered on demands for the government to bring the hostages home and to take responsibility for the policy and intelligence failures before Oct. 7.
Mr. Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has so far refused to take any personal responsibility for those failures. His defense minister, Yoav Gallant; and Benny Gantz, a former military chief and another key member of the war cabinet, have implicitly accused Mr. Netanyahu of putting his own political survival ahead of national security by appeasing his far-right coalition partners in the way he is prosecuting the war….
