[BONUS] The ICC arrest warrants against Israel and Hamas explained | The Big Picture
Manage episode 419303455 series 3438634
Will Benjamin Netanyahu face justice at the Hague?
The International Criminal Court on Monday issued arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders over their actions in Gaza and on 7 October, accusing them both of committing war crimes.
It’s an unprecedented move, the first time a US-ally has been pursued by the ICC.
Prosecutor Karim Khan says that the reputation of international law itself hangs in the balance, and that the decision must be respected in order to prove that “human beings wherever they may be have equal value”.
But it’s complicated. Both Israel and the US have vowed to fight it, and there’s a history of ICC member states refusing to hand over their allies to the court.
This week on The Big Picture, we examine what the ICC case is, and what it will take to bring the war in Gaza to an end.
