The International Criminal Court prosecutor's office has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence chief, and also for three Hamas leaders for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In the late 1960s, Mr Meron was legal counsel to the Israeli Foreign Ministry and wrote a secret 1967 memo for prime minister Levi Eshkol, who was considering creating an Israeli settlement at Kfar Etzion, following the Six-Day War in June 1967.At this stage this is only an announcement that the prosecutor is seeking an arrest warrant approval from the judges of the pre-trial chamber of the courts.
Mr Netanyahu called the decision to seek an arrest warrant as absurd. He said: "I reject with disgust the comparison of the prosecutor in the Hague between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas. Sinwar spent 23 years in an Israeli prison before returning to Gaza in 2011. He started out punishing and killing collaborators with Israel, working as a ruthless enforcer, before rising to a leadership role.
Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri also, also known as Mohammed Deif, is the head of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades which is the military wing of Hamas. Mr Ocampo said everyone involved has the opportunity to ask for a summons and agree to go to The Hague without an arrest warrant ever being issued.Telstra to sack 2,800 workers as part of cost-cutting measures
