“On November 21, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Hamas military chief Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri (aka Mohammed Deif), Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant, all on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
