00:00 Developing story for you now from the International Criminal Court and the chief prosecutor there has just asked for an arrest warrant against the Israeli
00:07 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That is for alleged war crimes.
00:11 Another arrest warrant has been issued against the Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galon,
00:16 the ICC prosecutor also asking for warrants for three Hamas leaders for their alleged roles in the October 7th attacks in Israel.
00:24 On the basis of evidence collected and
00:28 examined and analyzed by my office, I
00:30 have reasonable grounds to believe
00:33 that three senior leaders of Hamas
00:36 Yahya Sinwa,
00:39 Mohammed Da'if and
00:41 Ishmael Haniya
00:43 bear criminal responsibility
00:45 for the following international crimes
00:48 committed on the territory of Israel and the state of Palestine
00:53 from at least the 7th of October
00:56 1923. I can also confirm today
01:00 that I have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office
01:08 that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
01:12 Minister of Defense Yoav Galant
01:15 bear criminal responsibility
01:18 for the following international crimes
01:21 committed on the territory of the state of Palestine
01:24 from at least the 8th of October
01:27 2023.
