The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, announced arrest warrants against two Israeli leaders — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — and three Hamas leaders. The prosecutor focused on actions taken by Hamas on October 7 when militants stormed southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking some 250 hostages, and on Israel's military response in Gaza, which has killed roughly 35,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry. As the ICC's top prosecutor places the heads of Israel and Hamas among world leaders infamous for war crimes and heinous acts against humanity, FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih is joined by Rosa Freedman, Professor of Law Conflict and Global Development and the Director of the Global Development Division at the University of Reading.
