EXCLUSIVE: ICC Prosecutor Seeks Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu & Hamas Leaders | Amanpour and Company

- Today, the International Criminal Court’s Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan told Christiane he is seeking warrants for three Hamas leaders -- Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri -- for crimes committed during the October 7th attacks on Israel, when more than 1200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more were kidnapped. The court is also seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing the war in Gaza that has seen more than 35,000 deaths and the use of starvation as a weapon of war. The prosecutor tells Christiane this is no witch hunt, nor is it political. The ICC is carrying out its mandate to apply justice equally and without fear nor favor. Israelis from across the political spectrum have denounced this decision. Netanyahu called the warrants an “outrage” that won’t deter Israel from continuing its war. Hamas also is rejecting the charges against its leadership. Karim Khan explains his decision to Christiane in an exclusive interview.

Kudos to ICC. That is what ICC is created to do.
The ICC is a mockery of western sacred law and court system. They’re so crooked, they’re condemning the victims of crime alongside their criminals by saying the victims have no recourse but to lie down and be annihilated. Self righteousness at a most comedic level.
Well done Mr Khan … as a fellow Brit I am proud of your ‘bottle’ … our politicians are a disgrace and spineless…
Seriously 😐!!! This is factually incorrect and dangerous.
@@Uuilll3LOnly if you believe and want Israeli and Western exceptionalism…
You can either stand for what is right … or wrong …
YOU ARE SOOOOO STUPID!
It’s about time. Somebody do something already!!! These people in power and who are doing their work - need to be held accountable already
Blinken, Biden, Trump, Netanyahu and others seem to forget that they are NOT immortals, one day they will cross the Veil and they will be accountable for their crimes
Sir Karim Khan you are a Brave man. ❤. Standing against these so called giants is not easy.
Power to Sir Karim Khan for standing by justice.
Jew haters unite. Disgusting that they would prosecute Netanyahu for killing his enemies. The world is full of Jew haters just like Nazi Germany
You have all the support of the citizens of the world
Yes, he does!
How dare you! Not in our names. Go and fly 🪰

You can go and live in israhell
No, he doesn't
Civilized people know this charge against israel is an outrage and a sham
Thank you sir! Justice matters.

Isreal is losing the support from the west that it needs for it's survival.
Our support of Isreal is not unconditional, and people are absolutely outraged by Bibi's complete disregard for human life; and his flippant response to anyone who questions civilian casualties in Gaza.
Yeh over 80% of America stands with Israel. And that’s both sides of the political isle. Less than 20% of Americas is still a big number but nowhere near a number that justifies your statement that Israel is losing the West’s support. And those numbers are the same in most western countries. Just because pro Hamas idiots are the loudest and most obnoxious doesn’t make them the majority despite the media making it look like they are.
As long as AIPAC is around, Israel will control the United States. Sad!
Jew haters unite. Disgusting that they would prosecute Netanyahu for killing his enemies. The world is full of Jew haters just like Nazi Germany
This decision was not easy for Karim khan . Living in west and going against them .he is really brave to say that although we all know that these powerful countries won’t let it happen specially allies of Israel .
Where are the arrest warrants for Khamenei, Assad, Xi, Kim, Maduro, Lukashenko, etc.?
Where are the arrests for BenGvir, Gantz, and the IDF generals who committed war crimes?
Dont forget iraq Syria war Bush, Biden, Obama, blair etc
Are you comparing Natiana to Khamenei ? I am not defending Molas and all their cruelties. but they have never killed babies, kids and starve them to death.
In your dreams maybe. 😅
Please, arrest our crime minister, Nethanyahu.
Please prevent his family to land in Europe union.
Hold both parties accountable. Well done 👍🏼
Thank you sir ❤
👏👏👏

Why is "Rand" Added to your name?
@@backstreets2473 being half Indian and half American my surname is rand
@@backstreets2473 how do you know what rand means ? 😂
Thank you sir for this effort even though it won't be easy. We need to stop this war by all means.
Why not charging and warrants for the Israeli IDF Spokesman? WHY not for Hatespeaks and discrimination and calling for Apartheid?
This interview is MUCH longer than this one clip; can we please get the entire conversation with the full transcript in a separate PDF rather than the chat style closed caption provided inside a youtube frame? It is quite comprehensive and worth putting out their in it's entirely start to finish uninterrupted as broadcast on PBS. Thank you in advance!
Finally!!!! Thank you 🎉
Add Biden 💯
And rishi sunak 👍🏻
And #Blinken, #Sunak and #Scholtz
Add every single western leader that aided and abetted Netanyahu and Zionists!! Canada’s Trudeau, Germany’s, England’s and sure as hell, the US’s Biden!!
No, Ivan.
Little sunak, Blinkin, Cameron should all be charged with abetting
It's going to be very interesting to see which international leaders respond to the possible charges, and why those responses are revealed.
The statutes BIND international governments under international laws. Specifically the laws regarding genocide and humanitarian rights.
The ICC doesn't consider political stances, or the political ramifications. It's all about laws of the worldwide signatories to UN binding conventions, laws agreed to by countries.
Two outcomes from now on for the court, 1. Nobody cares of court, 2 The court never mattered
Well done Mr Khan ! Much respect for this decision ❤❤
Thank you for this interview
Awesome interview! Let’s hope Mr. Khan is successful! Blessings to him & his efforts. Makes complete sense. I’m disappointed in the US response!?! We are wrong…😮
You must be 12 years old
@@gabrielderman974 Perhaps, even a 12 year old can respect and appreciate an attempt to achieve justice by the ICC.
@@gabrielderman974 You must be a Zionist Genocide Denier
That is called politics. US is playing a game because Israel is their ally. The jewish population in US will not vote for Biden if he agrees with ICC decision. It is a game politicians play right or wrong.
Who is the head of the ICC???
Those charges sounds like what RCC has been accused of in the past 1000 yrs....
RCC needs to be given a warrant for the Pope as well ...
Go ahead Mr.Khan , you have the world support and admiration
😅 Lucky there was no ICC in World War II because then they would have issued an arrest warrants for Churchill and Roosevelt because of the bombings of Dresden, Nuremberg and Berlin
Agreed! Its a shame the Hamas leaders are charged…
Churchill was an important voice in Eisenhower’s decision to overthrow the government of Iran via CIA Coup in 1953. (CIA Operation Ajax…MI6 Operation Boot)
Yes, actions in WWII led to the creation of international laws because things done by all participants were horrendous, and civilians should be protected.
Joker!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This man time is off
Ridiculous
So not true that there is starvation! If it were true the whole world would see it!
Will the leaders of western countries also get warrants for aiding and abetting Netanyahu? I hope yes!
Amanpour is very poker faced
Appreciate his courage for risking his life in the line of duty
This means nothing. It won’t happen.
They are equal blame
Yeah he aint surviving long
Good luck finding Sinwar
I think the the West should just ignore these bums
I would love to here him explain how intent has not been documented in print and on video over and over and over again. I can not accept a weak excuse like the BS he spewed about not charging them with genocide, the evidence it literally everywhere, they are not hiding anything!!!!
Sad to say that both Jews & Arabs won’t play cricket…
A giant of a man.
A lump of hypocrisy
What is there's subject general scientist said legally in the hunder rules regulations approval available ? And illegally activate of court ?
General scientists in attacks in death condition closing ? There's subject court feath ?
Symbolism matters. THANK YOU ICC.
Steps right up to the line but can’t cross it. Sad.
Why is USA congress and sunuk not on arrest warrents
How to save the world from World war 3
Ask yourself that Education for human well-being.
There's subject what is there's results of court
Related Israel what is order of general scientist to court ? There's subject very denguers illegally attacks from court
ICC for Africa sure? I'm very disappointed

Israel is not a Roman statute member, ICC has not legal right to issue warrant.
The warrant applications against Israel have the same legal basis as the ones against Russia in Ukraine
Good interview .
Why not 130.000.000 clicks ?
Because as soon as you see who are interviewers and interviewed, you know it’s a mockery
General scientists order to icc court to general scientist shipting to Saudi Arabia
The Palestinian question must be answered once and for all this time. It would be an insult to the 10s of thousands who have perished, not only in this war, but the countless others who have gone before. We, the international community must intensify our efforts especially during what is an election year for so many of us, to ensure the Palestinian people achieve what most of us take for granted.
👏👏👏💯💯💯
Much respect to the ICC for their thorough and complete investigation of this situation. Justice for those without a voice appears to be possible, not just for those with loud voices and much power. Thank you.

FREE THE HOSTAGES
GIVE BENJAMIN A MEDAL

How bout biden and mike johnson
That man should be arrested and prosecuted for failing to uphold international law. He did nothing in the immediate aftermath of the October 7th attacks, despite Hamas providing him all the evidence he needed in the form of their video footage. Making him complicit to the slaughter.
He's only acted now because his hand has been forced, if it hadn't no doubt he would have done nothing at all about the deliberate slaughter of 1200 civilian Jews.

Why wouldn’t they include a genocide charge against Hamas if it’s about intent?
1- There are no charges of Genocide under examination by the ICC. That is being handled by the ICJ
2- Unlike the Zionist Regime, Hamas & Co leaders never announced or proclaimed any intention of committing acts that can be called War Crimes. Any such war crimes as alleged, e.g. Rape, Killing of Civilians, etc. were not dictated publicly.
Hamas & Co proclamations from day 1 were about prisoners exchange something that many believes that will never happen because Nut&Yahoo will actually do his best to kill the prisoners to enrage his base and cause the genocide to continue and possibly enlarge the war to other countries.
Unlike an Occupier, aka Israel, Hamas & Co are Liberation movements. Under International Law, they're allowed more freedom in type of action they take to liberate their people.
Palestinians didn't throw the first punch on October 7th. The first punch was thrown by World Zionist Movement on August 29-31, 1897, and you can read about it on Wikipedia, "First_Zionist_Congress"
The ZIONIST had the audacity to start buying land under the guise of farming, thinking WRONGLY" that owning a real-estate give them the right to a Sovereign Statehood on someone else land.
Since then, IT HAS BEN SLOW GENOCIDE under the banner of "A LAND WITHOUT PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT LAND". If this is not a call for Genocide, I don't know what is.
@@iq-ride9329 read the h u m u s c h a r t er. Second paragraph article 7. Do more homework.
excellent remark, specially when it is written in the charter that hamas wrote to mark its foundation. they could have been prosecuted already, since day 1 on that genocidal,intent.
Because H is a Liberation Movement and under International law, they're entitled to use armed struggle to liberate their land.

Khan...Now only got up from sleep.. Do you know srilanka and Tamil people...? Oh... Religious gratitude.... Ok.. So you never care anyone's death anywhere other than Muslims.... Super justice learnt from Quran.?
So why aren't the Israelis being charged with kidnapping thousands of Palestinians before the 7th October and after the 7th October?
When Hamas get charged with kidnapping, and Israel have kidnapped over twenty times the amount of innocent civilians, it's strange that Israel haven't been charged with kidnapping.
Israel calls it "adminitive detention" when they kidnap innocent civilians, so if it's just a question of call the same action a different name that crazy, or could it be bias, that the ICC doesn't want to point out too many things that Israel are doing wrong...
ICC has no authority
Disgraceful

That’s not fair. You cannot equate war
Criminals with victims. Besides, there was no rape or war crimes by Palestinians. These aren’t my words but came from Israelis themselves.
The videos were distributed by Hamas
You’re so mixed up
Look on this face full of hate when he speaks about Israel. Who is this person. He is deciding about our PM. First he must learn who are Jews second he must to count what our nation contributed to civilization in last 3000 years. And at the end learn mister who are the Gazans and Hamas
Thank you Christian and Mr. Khan. Finally after 7 months you opened your eyes to the most cruel and horrible genocide which still is taking place in Palestine by 21st century Hitler Natiana.
The Israelis have no need of the ICC to bring Sinwar et al to justice.
🤣😂🤣
Hamas puppet

Criminal Khan should be in jail!
He wants to arrest Hamas leaders who defend Philistine from nazis. Very nazi-flirting prosecutor. HUGE DISLIKE for him.
Thank YOU for STANDING UP for JUSTICE to All INNOCENT FAMILIES in GAZA and HOSTAGES in ISRAEL PRISON mostly CHILDREN LOCKED in CAGES for YEARS THANK you 🌹

HEY ICC... YOU DAYS ARE NUMBERED.... GUARANTEED YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE TOOTHLESS WARRANTS
🤣😂🤣 You've seen nothing yet.
Why not send out arrest warrants for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the killing of his own people? And, China President Xi Jinping for his genocide on Uyghurs?
Wow! Karim Khan should be awarded as an Honorary citizen of Israel! Look how he stutters and stammers when he talks about Israeli atrocities. Not GENOCIDE? With more than 15,000 children dead? He should change his name.
Says who the Hamas run Gaza health ministry? It might as well be a trillion dead kids! 😂
You don’t know the meaning of genocide, you cheapen that word everytime u people use it for bs that isn’t genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide they could do it easily and the war would’ve been over in a week. This war is taking long because they’re bending over backwards to mitigate civilian casualties. You all are brainwashed straight up
ICJ is handling Genocide and that will take too long. This is the first bite at the Genocide makers
This man and all the enemies of Israel will have their due!
