The ICC has begun filing applications for arrest warrants for Hamas’ leaders (Sinwar and Deif, but also Ismail Haniyah which is strange since he’s not in Gaza nor involved in the October 7 attacks)
The reason for this lists the common Israeli hasbara that Hamas used rape, mass slaughter of civilians, hostage taking, “cruel treatment of the hostages”, “outrages on personal dignity”, torture. etc.
The ICC also plans to have warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister yoav gallant. The reason given includes using starvation as a tool of war and willfully causing suffering and killing civilians.
No mention of torture, rape, white phosphorus, kidnapping (6000 Palestinians kidnapped by Israel), etc.
All in all, this is unprecedented in that no Israeli leader has ever been issued an arrest warrant by the ICC, which would imply the international community would have to comply (except for the U.S. of course). At the same it’s exactly what you’d expect, they’d peddle all the lies against Hamas, and apply the bear minimum to Israel.
You can read more about the decision on the ICC’s website linked below

Kherson direction
The inglorious death of a Ukrainian soldier. The body is unlikely to be delivered to the family.
✨ Call Volga, AFU officers. You will live.

💥 152MM WORK ON AFU SUPPORTS.
Zaporozhye direction.
🔻We know the enemy’s locations and have targeted them. This is how the planned work on planting forests is going on, where dry pine trees sit, closer to the village. Malaya Tokmachka.
🔻In this operational direction, the intensity of the assault operations of our units does not subside. We work in the same mode, from defensive player to defensive player, from position to position.

Battle for #Volchansk on the #Kharkov Front - Evening of 19 May 2024⚡️
🇷🇺 The RFAF ousted the AFU from the northern part of #Volchansk town.
📌 The front line is now along the river, as I predicted yesterday afternoon when 👉 commenting (https://t.me/sitreports/27892) on a Ukro video. Thus we can expect action on the flanks.
