The International Criminal Court said today it is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Defence Minister, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other two Hamas leader on war crimes charges. It stated that the charges relate to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by the Hamas militant group, and to Israel’s military response in Gaza. A panel of ICC judges will consider whether or not to accept the application.
