ICC issues arrest warrant for ‘dead Hamas terrorist’

Barrister and UKLFI Charitable Trust Legal Director Natasha Hausdorff has criticised the International Criminal Court for issuing an arrest warrant for a “dead Hamas terrorist” alongside Israel’s Prime Minister and former defence minister. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant. “This is a decision by the Pre-Trial Chamber to issue arrest warrants, not just against Israel’s Prime Minister … but also against a dead man, Mohammed Deif,” Ms Hausdorff told Sky News Australia. “Hamas confirmed his death some three weeks ago. “The overriding impression, certainly from that inclusion of a dead Hamas terrorist, is that the court is seeking to approach this matter … in some even-handed fashion.”
