The ICC wants to charge them with war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the October 7 attack and the subsequent war in Gaza.
Sinwar, along with other militant leaders including leader of the Al Qassem Bridgades, Mahammed Dief, and Hamas’ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, are facing charges such as “extermination, murder, taking of hostages, rape and sexual assault in detention”. The Palestinian militants killed an estimated 1,200 people on Israeli soil on October 7, and took around 240 others hostage – there are still more than 100 thought to be held in Hamas’ captivity.
The events of that day triggered an all-out war, and the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 35,000 people have been killed in the last seven months. Khan told CNN that “people have suffered enormously” due to the October 7 attack, and that “the world was shocked” by the events of that day.On the ICC website, Khan also said: “If we do not demonstrate our willingness to apply the law equally, if it is seen as being applied selectively, we will be creating the conditions for its collapse.”“Our priory now is getting an immediate pause in the fighting, getting hostages out, aid into Gaza and achieving that long term sustainable ceasefire.
