The top prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is requesting arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders.
Over seven months of war, more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed and much of the Gaza Strip has been destroyed.
The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) top prosecutor has found Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant criminally responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan also applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders in connection with the Palestinian group’s October 7 attack on Israel.
So what does this mean for the devastating war in Gaza?
And how does international legal pressure on Israel affect the reality on the ground?
