It has been five months since the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, requested an arrest warrant for Israeli and Hamas leaders over allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity during Israel's war on Gaza and the 7 October Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
On 20 May, Khan announced that his office filed an application for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif.
