The Palestinian movement Hamas demanded on Monday (20 May) that the International Criminal Court (ICC) overturns the decision to issue arrest warrant for the leaders of the movement and arrests all the Israeli leadership.
Earlier in the day, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that he had filed requests for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as for the leader of Palestinian movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ military wing head Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Masri and Hamas political bureau head Ismail Haniyeh.
"Hamas demands that the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant and detain all war criminals, including the leaders of the occupiers, officers and soldiers involved in crimes against the Palestinian people. Hamas also demands the overturn of all arrest warrants issued against the leaders of the Palestinian people, as they contradict UN conventions and resolutions," the movement said in a statement.
