ICC Prosecutor urges judges to decide on arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Hamas leaders over alleged war crimes in Palestinian territories.

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan urges judges to quickly decide on arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant, and Hamas leaders, stating that the ICC has jurisdiction over Israeli nationals committing atrocity crimes in Palestinian territories. Khan dismissed legal arguments based on the Oslo accords and Israel's claims of investigating alleged war crimes. The ICC alleges that Netanyahu, Gallant, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, military chief Mohammed Al-Masri, and political leader Ismail Haniyeh bear criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
