The Jew haters are going to love this news.
The International Criminal Court’s prosecutor Karim Khan announced the news on CNN with reporter Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview on Monday.
Khan also said he was issuing an arrest warrant for Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, the leader of the Al Qassem Brigades who is better known as Mohammed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ political leader.
This puts Prime Minister Netanyahu in an elite group. As CNN reported – The decision puts Netanyahu in the company of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, for whom the ICC issued an arrest warrant over Moscow’s war on Ukraine, and the Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi, who was facing an arrest warrant from the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity at the time of his capture and killing in October 2011.
Obviously, Khan is placing Hamas terrorists on the same equivalent footing as Israeli leaders.
Khan told Amanpour the charges against Netanyahu and Gallant include “causing extermination, causing starvation as a method of war, including the denial of humanitarian relief supplies, deliberately targeting civilians in conflict.”
Israel is supplying food, water, energy, and supplies to Gaza at the same time they are at war with the terrorist organization Hamas.

Hamas still holds 128 Israeli hostages from the October 7 attack.
The reaction to this news from Israel and its supporters was swift.
Israeli official Dannan Danon responded:
A court that equates the leaders of a democratic nation, such as a prime minister and a defense minister, with those of a terrorist organization responsible for a sadistic massacre, where they butchered, tortured and raped of thousands of innocent citizens, does not deserve the…

Rep. Marc Molinaro.
This is a mistake and will forever damage the credibility of the ICC. There can be no equivocation. Prime Minister Netanyahu is the leader of a democracy and is defending Israel’s right to exist following the horrific October 7th attacks. Hamas is a terrorist organization…

The ICC has shown what a complete joke it is, putting Israel’s prime minister on the same level as Hamas’ terrorist leaders.https://t.co/WhRM8nLDCS
