Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Faces Potential Charges

In a significant development, the prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, announced on May 20th that he has opened an investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israel during its recent war on Gaza.

The investigation will focus on events that occurred between June 13th, 2021, and May 2022, the six-month period during which Israel carried out a devastating military campaign in Gaza, killing over 250 Palestinians, including 67 children.

The announcement comes amid growing international pressure on Israel to be held accountable for its actions in Gaza. The ICC has previously issued arrest warrants against high-ranking individuals, including former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, for alleged war crimes.
