The International Criminal Court (ICC) recently issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant, together with a former Hamas commander, citing allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
These warrants, according to ICC spokesperson Fadi El Abdallah, signify that the judges have found sufficient evidence establishing reasonable grounds to believe the suspects are responsible for crimes within the Court’s jurisdiction.
Mr. El Abdallah spoke with UN News’s Reem Abaza on what comes next, including cooperation with and responsibilities of States Parties to the Rome Statute, the 1998 treaty that established the Court.
