Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized the International Criminal Court's move to consider arrest warrants for him and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on war crimes charges. Netanyahu said the decision by chief prosecutor Karim Khan was "outrageous" and added that his country was "waging a just war against Hamas." Khan said he is also seeking an arrest warrant for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. A panel of ICC judges will review whether to accept the application.

I agree Netanyahu, the Hamas leader shouldn’t have been mentioned - he was defending the people of Palestine after his country has been under attack for 70 plus years.
