Luis Moreno Ocampo discusses the International Criminal Court arrest warrant requests for Israeli and Hamas leaders.
As Israel’s war on Gaza keeps raging, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
