Amal Clooney was among a group of lawyers based in the U.K. to advise the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor in issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders — Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, and Ismail Haniyeh.
Prosecutor Karim Khan said on Monday that the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant would be in relation to war crimes committed in Gaza, while the warrants for the Hamas leaders would be issued in connection to the Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel and the subsequent treatment of those taken hostage, as noted by The Daily Beast.
