Impeding relief supplies to Gaza’s population may constitute a crime under the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) jurisdiction, the court’s top prosecutor told a news conference in Egypt on Sunday.

Karim Khan also said Israel must make “discernable efforts, without further delay to make sure civilians receive basic foods, medicine”.

Israel, which is not a member of the ICC, has previously rejected the court’s jurisdiction and does not formally engage with its investigations.

    Isn’t it the same as issuing arrest warrants against Putin?

      Not quite, because that warrant actually does prevent Putin from going to a lot of countries, and it has made the coward afraid of even going to countries which have openly stated that they won’t enforce the warrant (like South Africa).
