Israeli survivors of the attack and families of victims want the court to target Hamas leaders with arrest warrants
Israeli survivors of the Oct. 7 attacks and relatives of victims are stepping up efforts to get the International Criminal Court prosecutor to scrutinize Hamas’ crimes as part of his investigation into the attack and Israel’s response in Gaza.
“We want to … make sure that the leaders of Hamas are taken into custody or that they cannot leave Qatar anymore and that this puts pressure on them to release the hostages,” Goren said, speaking at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport. These legal filings are meant to provide information to the prosecution and are part of a wider push to get the ICC to act against Hamas leaders.
On Oct. 7, Hamas carried out a cross-border raid on southern Israel in which 1,200 Israelis were killed and around 240 were taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies.which has laid waste to much of the densely-populated strip of land on the Mediterranean and left over 28,000 Palestinians dead, according to Gaza health officials.
