AMSTERDAM, May 20 (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court prosecutor's office said on Monday it had requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his defence chief and three Hamas leaders for alleged war crimes.

Prosecutor Karim Khan's office said it suspected all five - Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Al-Masri and Ismail Haniyeh - bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Israel or the Gaza Strip.

Israel has denied committing war crimes in the Gaza war, triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7.

The ICC's decision "equates the victim with the executioner", a senior Hamas official told Reuters.

It will be up to the court's pre-trial judges to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to issue warrants.

  1. The Hamas leaders should seek refuge in Malaysia.

    Not only Madani is their BEST buddy, Malaysia is not a signatory to ICERD.

    Hamas leaders will get a Heroes welcome in Malaysia.

      🇺🇸GRAHAM: IF WE LET ICC ARREST NETANYAHU - WE WILL BE ARRESTED NEXT!

      Sen. Lindsey Graham:

      "Hopefully, together, we will find a way to rest our displeasure with the ICC because if they do this to Israel, we're next.

      At the end of the day here, what I hope to happen is that we level sanctions against the ICC for this outrage to not only help our friends in Israel but protect ourselves over time."

      Israel's Netanyahu threatens the ICC's Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, saying that he himself is not concerned about traveling. The prosecutor, however, should be concerned.

      The 4.00am talking points were distributed and @ScoMo30 took his Cabal orders.

      Bookmark.

      NB: allegedly, at 4am, key agenda for the day is being send out to all the media, hence 4am talking points being sent out. Hence, the daily synchronization of media reporting across geographical region...

  3. When all this is done and over, I bet they will find an increase in Gaza population.
