Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei commented on the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri.
“They issued an arrest warrant, this is not enough… These criminal leaders must be given the death sentence,” Khamenei said, referring to Israeli leaders.
In their ruling, the ICC judges said there were sufficient grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Yoav Galant were criminally responsible for the killings, persecution and starvation as a means of waging war as part of the “wide-scale and systematic attack on the civilian population of Gaza.”
This decision was met with outrage in Israel, which called it shameful and absurd. Residents of Gaza expressed hope that it would help end the violence and bring those responsible for war crimes to justice.
At the same time, Israel rejects the jurisdiction of the Hague Court and denies war crimes in Gaza.
The arrest warrant for Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri includes allegations of mass killings during the events of October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel that sparked the war against the long-blocked Palestinian enclave, and allegations of rape and hostage-taking.
Israel said it had killed Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif, in an airstrike in July, but Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied this.
We will remind
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously approved a possible cease-fire agreement with the Lebanese Hezbollah movement. However, Israel wants to present some reservations and convey them to the Lebanese authorities.
