Climate damage considered a crime against humanity - Professor Shaista Shameem
The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders over alleged war crimes. ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, has applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders, and also for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. He says he has reasonable grounds to believe they bear responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Providing humanitarian aid earlier to Gaza could have prevented ICC warrants, explains the former head of the international department at the State Attorney's Office.
Analysis: With Israeli officials fearing that arrest warrants could be issued, the ICC is coming under growing pressure from Israel's supporters.
There are growing reports of Israel directly targeting civilians in Gaza as they wait for aid, often after fake texts signal that relief is on the way.
