ICC arrest requests show it is ‘scrutinising both sides’ leadership’: Former ICC official
After more than seven months of Israel’s devastating war on Gaza, which has killed at least 35 thousand 562 Palestinians.
The chief prosecutor of the world’s top criminal court, has sought arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
They are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Netanyahu says it’s a complete distortion of reality.
The ICC prosecutor also wants arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders for the October 7 attack in southern Israel – a move that’s been denounced by Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjanmin Netanyahu’s government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting in Israel, that’s why Imran Khan is reporting the latest from the Jordanian capital, Amman.
Former ICC official Eric Witte says that the decision does not imply that the actions of each side’s leaders are equal but that they will be “equally scrutinised under the law”.
