BREAKING

Israeli and foreign officials believe that the International Criminal Court is preparing arrest warrants for top Israeli AND Hamas officials.

If the court proceeds, the Israeli officials could potentially be accused of preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and pursuing an excessively harsh response to the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.

The Israeli officials, who are worried about the potential fallout from such a case, said they believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is among those who might be named in a warrant. It is not clear who might be charged from Hamas.

Nor does the US recognize it's authority. We have zero influence on how the ICC operates.

Hopefully their arrests will facilitate a long enough pause for people to finally get food and medical assistance.
