Israeli and foreign officials told The New York Timesthe ICC is also considering arrest warrants for Hamas leaders.
NPR's Peter Kenyon tells Up First that if the ICC does issue these warrants, it would be the first time it has issued warrants against any Israeli official. Under a warrant, the ICC's member states would be expected to arrest and hand over the defendants (https://click.nl.npr.org/?qs=1ddc23b70b9baf48e927de4b7220081b16509374d2852e86fb8acf8c7d74281dae189d61566b8dc0fadc6c7c98e4a708f18dfc1d5cdc5cf4) to the Hague should they enter their territories.

Your continued path of hugging Bibi is going to cost you the election. Why are you defending him? He doesn’t want you to be reelected. He would prefer Trump. Besides that, Bibi and his ilk have actively called for killing all Palestinians and yet you continue to support him and the IDF.

Permanent cease fire now.
