Arrest warrants against Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas leader Deif

The International Criminal Court in The Hague has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. They are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the course of the war in Gaza. An arrest warrant was also issued against Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. Israel claims to have killed Deif in July, but Hamas denies this. Two other requests for arrest warrants against Hamas leaders were dropped because those affected are now dead – Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar.
