New York Times: The ICC is preparing to issue arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials. Netanyahu would also be targeted

The International Criminal Court is preparing to issue warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders in connection with the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli and foreign officials told The New York Times.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other high-ranking Israeli officials could be indicted by the ICC, which is also examining warrants for Hamas leaders, according to these officials.

Israeli officials are increasingly convinced that the ICC is preparing to issue arrest warrants on charges related to the war with Hamas, according to these sources.

Israeli officials could be accused of obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and continuing an overly harsh response after the October 7 Hamas attack in southern Israel, two of the five officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak. speak publicly about this topic.

It is not clear which Hamas officials could be indicted and for what kind of crimes.

The CPI has not commented on this matter.

The arrest warrants from the ICC would be seen as a humiliating rebuke, especially for Israel, which has faced international criticism for months over its “exaggerated” actions in Gaza.
