ICC prosecutor Karim Khan in May requested the court issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
JERUSALEM - Israel said on Friday it had submitted an"official challenge" to a request from the International Criminal Court prosecutor for an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Khan also sought warrants against top Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Marmorstein said on Friday that Khan had failed"to provide Israel with the opportunity to exercise its right to investigate by itself the claims raised by the prosecutor, before proceeding."
