Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described a move to seek an arrest warrant for him on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity as "a political outrage". The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan will also apply for arrest warrants for Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three senior leaders of terrorist group Hamas; they include Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza. The charges relate to the 7 October terrorist attack on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza. Netanyahu says the push to charge him with war crimes will not deter Israel, and the war will continue until the remaining hostages are released and Hamas is destroyed. A panel of ICC judges will consider Khan’s application for the arrest warrants.
