ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Israeli, Hamas leaders

Reuters Videos

STORY: The International Criminal Court's prosecutor has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his defense chief Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders over alleged war crimes. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said in a statement on Monday that he had reasonable grounds to believe that all "bear criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Hamas leaders' arrest warrants were for the group's chief Yahya Sinwar; Mohammed Al-Masri, the commander-in-chief of its military wing, and Ismail Haniyeh, head of its Political Bureau. "Those who do not comply with the law should not complain later when my office takes action based on solid evidence. That day has come. Today, we underline in the clearest possible fashion that international law and the laws of armed conflict apply to everyone. No foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader - no one - can act with impunity." Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said accepting the ICC prosecutors' decision, quote, "would harm the ability of any country to defend its citizens and will constitute a crime of historic proportion." Gallant and Netanyahu have overseen Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza since the Palestinian militant group's deadly October 7 raid on Israel. Some 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 taken hostage in the rampage, according to Israeli tallies. Since then, at least 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war in Gaza, according to the enclave's health ministry. And aid agencies have also warned of widespread hunger, a risk of famine, and dire shortages of fuel and medical supplies. Israeli and Palestinian leaders have both previously dismissed allegations of committing war crimes. Khan said evidence collected by his office showed Israel had systematically deprived civilians of "objects indispensable to human survival," including restricting food, water, medicine and energy. Netanyahu and Gallant bore responsibility, he said, for Israel wilfully causing great suffering and for killing as a war crime. The Hamas leaders face allegations of bearing responsibility for crimes committed by the militant group, including extermination and murder, the taking of hostages, torture, rape and other acts of sexual violence. It will now be up to a panel of pre-trial judges to determine whether the evidence from the ICC prosecutors' office supports the issuing of arrest warrants. The ICC's 124 member states are obliged to immediately arrest the wanted person if they are on a member state's territory. However, it has no means to enforce arrest warrants - and its investigation into the Gaza war has been opposed by the United States and Israel, neither of whom are members of the ICC.

ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Israeli PM, Hamas leaders

Reuters Videos

STORY: :: The Hague, the Netherlands :: May 20, 2024 Karim Khan, ICC prosecutor "I can also confirm today that I have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant bear criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of the state of Palestine from at least the 8th of October 2023. The crimes include starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, wilfully causing great suffering, serious injury to body or health, or cruel treatment, wilful killing or murder and intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population; as well as crimes against humanity of extermination and/or murder, persecution and allegation of crimes committing other inhumane acts." "I have reasonable grounds to believe the three senior leaders of Hamas - Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab (Al-Masri) and Ismail Haniyeh - bear criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of Israel and the state of Palestine from at least the 7th of October 2023: extermination as a crime against humanity, murder as a crime against humanity and as a war crime, the taking of hostages as a war crime, rape and other acts of sexual violence during captivity as crimes against humanity and as war crimes, torture during captivity as a crime against humanity and as a war crime, other inhumane acts during captivity as a crime against humanity, cruel treatment during captivity as a warcrime, and outrageous upon personal dignity during captivity as a war crime." Prosecutor Karim Khan's office said it suspected all five - Netanyahu, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Al-Masri and Ismail Haniyeh - bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Israel or the Gaza Strip. Israel has denied committing war crimes in the Gaza war, triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7. The ICC's decision "equates the victim with the executioner," a senior Hamas official told Reuters. It will be up to the court's pre-trial judges to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to issue warrants.

Iran's president Raisi killed in helicopter crash

Reuters Videos

STORY: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday. The charred wreckage of the aircraft was found early on Monday after an overnight search. Raisi's death was confirmed by Iran's vice president on X, and on state television. A senior Iranian official told Reuters "President Raisi, the foreign minister and all the passengers in the helicopter were killed in the crash." Rescue teams fought blizzards and difficult terrain through the night to reach the crash site in East Azerbaijan province in the early hours of Monday. Raisi had been at the Azerbaijani border to inaugurate a joint dam project. There has been no official word yet on the cause of the crash. State TV halted regular programming on Sunday to show prayers for Raisi being held across the country. The 63-year-old was elected president in 2021. Since taking office Raisi had ordered a tightening of morality laws, overseen a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests and pushed hard in nuclear talks with world powers. Iran's dual political system is split between the clerical establishment and the government, and it is the supreme leader rather than the president who has the final say on all major policies. But for years many have seen Raisi as a strong contender to succeed his 85-year-old mentor, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has strongly endorsed Raisi's main policies. “I mean, I think a lot of people might celebrate or might be happy, but also a lot of people, I think naturally would be very worried as to, you know, the potential political instability and what it could have.” A contest to replace Raisi may already be in the works, according to Arash Azizi, an Iran political analyst at the Center for Middle East and Global Order. “We all expected a ferocious struggle for power to begin after Khamenei dies. It might have already begun with this incident.” The crash comes as Iran faces pressure over its nuclear programme, its military ties to Russia, and its connections to Hamas, which is fighting Israel in Gaza. Countries including China expressed concern over Raisi, while the White House said U.S. President Joe Biden had been briefed on the situation.

Israel launches strikes across Gaza, US envoy in region

Reuters Videos

STORY: Residents said Israeli planes and tanks pounded areas across the Gaza Strip on Sunday. Over two dozen Palestinians were killed in the enclave, most of them in a strike on a house in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, according to Gaza health officials and Hamas. Abu Khaled Moenes lives near the house that was hit. “...the house was flattened to earth and the entire square around it, where we are, has been destroyed. We have martyrs, the entire house with everyone inside (has been killed). No one survived except a young boy aged eight or nine months." The strikes came as White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid U.S. calls for a more focused military campaign. Washington worries for the hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians sheltering in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. And has cited a need not just to evacuate them but also to ensure adequate alternative accommodation. Israel has been pushing into the city that it says is the last bastion of Hamas forces. For many, it was one of their few remaining places of refuge. Speaking to Reuters on Friday, Rafah resident Majid Omran said his family had fled, and returned to what was left of their home in the southern city of Khan Younis. "Across the Gaza strip there is no safety," he said. "We took our children, grandchildren and daughters and we came and lived above the rubble of our home. Because there is no place to take refuge here.” Israeli forces also pushed deeper into the narrow alleyways of Jabalia in northern Gaza overnight and into Sunday. The Israeli military has said its operations in Jabalia - the largest of Gaza's eight historic refugee camps - are precise and meant to stop Hamas from reestablishing its grip there. According to Israeli tallies, the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on Israel that sparked the war killed 1,200 people. More than 35,300 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since then, according to the enclave's health ministry. Aid agencies have warned of widespread hunger in Gaza, and shortages of fuel and medical supplies.

Israeli army video claims to show aid arriving in Gaza via pier

Reuters Videos

STORY: :: The Israeli army releases a video it says shows aid arriving in Gaza via a U.S.-built pier :: Israeli Army Handout :: Released May 18, 2024 :: Gaza :: The pier was pre-assembled at the Israeli port of Ashdod and moved to Gaza on Thursday Reuters verified the location of the footage based off the terrain layout and buildings which match satellite imagery of the area. This delivery takes place as Israel comes under growing global pressure to allow more supplies into the besieged coastal enclave, where it is at war with Palestinian militants Hamas and a famine looms. The temporary floating pier was pre-assembled at the Israeli port of Ashdod and moved into place on Thursday on the shore of Gaza, which lacks port infrastructure of its own. No U.S. troops went ashore, the Pentagon's Central Command said. The Hamas-run government media office in Gaza accused Washington of "trying to improve its ugly image" with the pier. In line with comments by the U.N., humanitarian groups and Washington itself, Hamas said the U.S. pier wasn't enough to meet the humanitarian needs and demanded greater aid shipments to the enclave by land.

Aid trucks begin moving through Gaza pier, US says

Humanitarian assistance began moving ashore around 9 a.m. local time, the U.S. Central Command – or Centcom – said. The pier is an attempt to boost aid deliveries to the enclave, where hundreds of thousands face an acute humanitarian crisis amid Israel’s campaign against Hamas. The aid being delivered via the floating pier is the first to reach Gaza by sea in weeks. :: DVIDS :: May 16, 2024 It was pre-assembled at the Israeli port of Ashdod and moved into place this week. No U.S. troops went ashore, Centcom said. :: Larnaca, Cyprus :: May 8, 2024 The United Nations said it was finalizing plans to get aid in via the pier. :: May 16, 2024 But deputy U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq said land access is still the most effective way to get aid into Gaza. “...getting aid to people in need, into and across Gaza cannot and should not depend on a floating dock far from where needs are most acute.” It all comes as Israeli forces battled Hamas fighters in northern Gaza on Friday in some of the fiercest engagements since they returned to the area a week ago, while in the south militants attacked tanks massing around Rafah. :: May 16, 2024

Israel says S. Africa genocide case 'divorced from facts'

Reuters Videos

STORY: Israel was defending the military necessity of its Gaza offensive at the International Court of Justice on Friday (May 17)... "Liars!" ... only to be interrupted by a heckler. It was a rare moment of protest in the Hague's "Great Hall of Justice" courtroom where Israel is facing a request by South Africa to halt its operations in Rafah and withdraw from the Palestinian territory. South Africa's case accuses Israel of violating the Genocide Convention. Israeli Justice Ministry official Gilad Noam said that argument was "completely divorced from facts and circumstances." "Israel is engaged in a difficult and tragic armed conflict. South Africa ignores this factual context, which is essential in order to comprehend the situation, and also ignores the applicable legal framework of international humanitarian law. It makes a mockery of the heinous charge of genocide." Noam said that Israel's military operations were not aimed at civilians, but at Hamas terrorists using Rafah as a stronghold. The latest hearings at the ICJ have been brought by South Africa to request emergency action in response to Israel's military assault on Rafah. That's as a part of South Africa's wider genocide case against Israel. In past rulings, the court has rejected Israel's demands to dismiss the case and ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide against the Palestinians, while stopping short of ordering it to halt the assault. Outside the court, Palestinian official Ammar Hijazi said it was Israel's side that was presenting a "parallel reality." "...that is contrary to everything that the international community, the relevant institutions, the numbers of humanitarian workers who were killed, the number of journalists, the live stream of this genocide, which you have all seen." A decision on the request for emergency measures is expected next week. More than 35,300 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's seven-month-old assault on the Gaza Strip, health officials in the enclave said on Thursday (May 16). Nearly half the territory's 2.3 million people have taken refuge in Rafah. The war began when Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people according to Israeli figures and abducting 253 others. Ahead of Israel's presentation, several dozen pro-Israeli protesters gathered outside the court. They displayed photographs of hostages taken by Hamas fighters and demanded their release.

Medics in Rafah brace for casualties if Israel invades

Reuters Videos

STORY: The Kuwaiti Speciality Hospital is one of the last few places in Rafah that can care for the wounded or dying. But already overwhelmed doctors warn an Israeli invasion further into the southern Gaza city could send an influx of new patients lthrough their doors and push them beyond their limits. Already, medicine and proper equipment are short. Jamal al-Hams is a doctor. "We have been here from the start of the war until now, and I do hope they will not target us, they will not threaten us, I do hope the whole medical team will be able to continue to serve the injured people, the critically ill patients, the people who have chronic diseases - and they are complicated because of the shortage of the drugs they are using." The International Red Cross has set up a field hospital to try to meet what it described as "overwhelming" demand for health services since Israel's military operation on Rafah began last week. Gaza's medical system has virtually collapsed under Israeli bombardment. And mass casualties are feared if there's a full Israeli assault in its drive to eradicate Hamas. Doctors in Gaza already say they perform surgery, including amputations, with no anaesthetics or pain killers. Issa Daher manages the field hospital. “With the current situation of the Gaza strip, we believe that this field hospital will contribute to the general healthcare delivery services in the Gaza strip now that the majority of the health facilities are not functioning. The majority have ceased to operate and we are forming part of the field hospitals that are operational at the moment ready to receive injured patients." The closure of the Rafah crossing between southern Gaza and Egypt has stranded patients seeking treatment abroad. It has also made delivering aid, including medical supplies, even harder. World Health Organization spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said on Friday (May 17) they hadn't got any into Gaza since before May 6. "We don't have medical supplies, we don't have fuel, we have hospitals that are under evacuation order, we have a situation where we cannot move physically." Witnesses and medical professionals said Israeli troops have attacked hospitals, blockaded them and killed doctors and other civilians there, which Israel denies. Israel says hospitals in Gaza are used by Hamas as bases, which the militant group and doctors deny.
