- Israel and Hamas, engaged in heavy fighting in the Gaza Strip, both angrily rejected moves to arrest their leaders for war crimes made before an international court. The International Criminal Court's prosecutor Karim Khan said he had applied for arrest warrants for top Israeli and Hamas leaders over the conflict. Israel slammed as a "historical disgrace" the demand targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, while the Palestinian militant group Hamas said it "strongly condemns" the move. As the ICC's war crimes prosecutor pursues justice on an unprecedented level, FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih is joined by former New York Assistant Attorney General Reed Brody. He is currently an ICJ Commissioner, Human Rights Lawyer, War Crimes Prosecutor, and Author of 'To Catch a Dictator'.

Finally, ICC doing its job.
Moral declination
Well done Icc
Israel is not Western. Also not Europe.
It is considered Western since it’s a close ally. Not that the idea of the West makes a lot of sense in the first place
The leaders of Hamas are not Western. neither is Netanyahu.
Well done, Karim.
Thank you ICC🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤
Finally. West recognizing israel as western and showing the odd one out in region
Excellent Job Mr Karim Khan the World wants Justice!
The fact the ICC never arrested a Western official just shows who really owns the ICC. And how egregious the atrocities are.
How Is Israili officials western officials? They are middle Eastern. Unless you believe they're European immigrants/refugees that is.
Geographically you are of course right, but they are ideologically part of the West
They are genectically European
@@user-er5or4nr9z False.
@@shaabandaud1173 Wrong on all counts.

Do present your case studies...
Actually Israel is in Asia, not withstanding that: very well done!
Ridiculous they want to punish the victims?
The world must be ruled by law.
These international laws have been put in place over 75 years or more by scolars and representatives of the worlds nations. To ensure smooth cooperatio, for security and prosperity of all peoples. All activity must be in line with these laws. US, UK and others, israel inclusive must be held to these laws. It is an excellent situation for all humans on this planet. A good start.
Western? A Middle Eastern apartheid state. Sure thing.
Crocodile denies eating humans
More than 40.000 Gazans killed by Natanyau
1:45 Why did they cut the Israeili crimes from the video segment?!!!
amazing.
"Watershed moment" because someone NOT Russian, Arab or African was indicted?
When did Israel, a country in the Wesr Asia, become a western country. It's like how apartheid South Africa was a Western country despite being in southern Africa.
The leaders in both are of European descent and part of the Western culture.
Arrest Nethanyahu and throw him in jail together with his friends in Hamas
In the same cell
Yahooyahoo has been FUNDING ham. as for decades, for his own political career.
Childish!
IS it just me or... Nadia is gorgeous!
The woman on his right, our left? She has had her smile surgically removed.
I think most people would look like that too if they had to watch all that video evidence over and over.
Justice? hahahahaha no.
US threaten the JUDGES FAMILIES thou... just like the madia
Israel is not a Western nation.
Wars are fought between declared enemies where populations too are declared enemies. Remember when Israelis were taken hostages, Gazans were celebrating too. Hence in the ongoing war how much can you hold one side responsible for the well-being of the citizens of the opposite side. Has it ever happened before. Who is to judge whether the army of one side be held responsible for the well being of the other side. In the heat and fog of war can a group which has never seen an active war zone decide whether fighters of one side taking good care of their opponents. Whether lawyers wanting to indict the combatants have any idea what they are talking about unless they have spent a fair amount of time under live fire. What about the judges as to whether they have spent time under live fire where there is a more than a reasonable chance of being a casualty.
Mr Prosecutor is looking deadly serious in his speech delivery but is giving rise to more questions than will get answered. Judges will be more circumspect. The residents of gaza were celebrating death and mutilation of Israelis, it will take a super human to love such neighbors, gentlemen.
Using ICC to remove a democratically elected government. Whose government will the ICC impose on a country... remedy?
The ICC isn't removing a democratically-elected government. They're charging a leader of a state who "allegedly" committed a crime(s) against humanity (and hopefully there will be a trial and conviction soon). That's not imposing a government on a people/country. They're holding to account a leader who has destroyed the lives of millions of people. The rest of the government who isn't listed is still intact.
Israeli isn’t a democracy. No one aside from Israelis takes that laughable claim with any seriousness
shameful khan...how many money they give to u...why not defend the african country like sudan and the others african conflict...
