‘That is not sufficient’: Iran’s Khamenei requires dying sentence for Israel’s Netanyahu and Gallant

Iran’s supreme chief Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday mentioned that dying sentences needs to be issued for Israeli leaders somewhat than arrest warrants.
The assertion from Khamenei got here in response to the Worldwide Legal Courtroom‘s determination on Thursday to subject arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence chief, and Hamas chief Ibrahim Al-Masri.
“They issued an arrest warrant, that is not sufficient… Loss of life sentence should be issued for these prison leaders”, Khamenei mentioned, addressing the Israeli management.
The ICC judges decided there have been affordable grounds to imagine Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant bore prison accountability for actions together with homicide, persecution and utilizing hunger as a weapon of battle as a part of a “widespread and systematic assault in opposition to the civilian inhabitants of Gaza”.
Israel responded with indignation to the choice, labelling it shameful and absurd, while Gaza residents expressed optimism that it might contribute to ending the violence and guaranteeing justice for battle crimes.
Israel maintains its rejection of the Hague-based courtroom’s authority and denies committing battle crimes in Gaza.
The warrant for Hamas chief Ibrahim Al-Masri contains fees associated to mass killings throughout the October 7, 2023 assaults on Israel that initiated the battle within the Palestinian territory, alongside accusations of rape and hostage-taking.
Israel claims to have eradicated Masri, also referred to as Mohammed Deif, in a July airstrike, although Hamas has not confirmed or denied this data.
