Will the ICC Issuing Arrest Warrants Against Netanyahu and Hamas Officials Help De-Escalate Ongoing Gaza Crisis?

The Hindu  

Published : Nov 21, 2024 21:12 IST - 5 MINS READ The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on November 21 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the genocide in Gaza and the October 7, 2023 attacks carried out by Hamas. Palestinian militant group Hamas welcomed the International Criminal Court’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gallant, calling it an “important step towards justice”. “The Chamber found reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Deif, born in 1965, the highest commander of the military wing of Hamas at the time of the alleged conduct, is responsible for the crimes against humanity of murder; extermination; torture; and rape and other form of sexual violence; as well as the war crimes of murder, cruel treatment, torture; taking hostages; outrages upon personal dignity; and rape and other forms of sexual violence,” a statement says. “The ICC arrest warrants against senior Israeli leaders and a Hamas official break through the perception that certain individuals are beyond the reach of the law,” the associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch, Balkees Jarrah, said in a statement.
