ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Hamas leaders and Israeli officials
ai generated text
The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, Karim Khan, has requested the court to issue arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders: Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Muhammad Deif. Khan emphasized that the court has jurisdiction over Israeli nationals who commit atrocity crimes, and that any delay in the proceedings would harm the rights of victims. However, it is worth noting that the ICC has already terminated proceedings against Ismail Haniyeh. Additionally, there is conflicting information regarding the status of Muhammad Deif, with some sources suggesting he was killed in an Israeli airstrike, while others may imply he is still at large and a target for arrest warrants.
It is settled law that the court has jurisdiction in this situation.
The prosecution will withdraw its (arrest warrant) application against Deif if sufficient and reliable information confirms his death.
Any unjustified delay in these proceedings detrimentally affects the rights of victims.
