The ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri for alleged war crimes during the Israel-Gaza conflict. The process involves a pre-trial panel of judges who will review evidence for about two months. Israel, not an ICC member, faces no immediate prosecution risk. Responses from Israeli and Hamas officials criticize the decision.
