THE Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said on Tuesday that he was seeking “urgent” arrest warrants on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides in the war in Gaza.
Karim Khan said that it was time to press ahead with arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, the country’s defence minister, as well as Hamas’s leader Yahya Sinwar and military commander Mohammed Deif “with utmost urgency.”
He said the arrest warrants are “necessary to ensure that they do not obstruct or endanger the investigation or court proceedings, prevent the continuing commission of the crimes alleged and/or the commission of other Rome Statute crimes.”
