The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants against senior Hamas officials and top Israeli officials for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Oct. 7 attacks and the ongoing war in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the push as a 'travesty of justice' in a statement.
If arrest warrants are issued, Netanyahu could be branded as a 'world pariah,' like Russia's President Vladimir Putin, who faces an ICC arrest warrant, NPR's Daniel Estrin tells Up First. 'This could have a snowball effect,' he says. It could affect international sanctions against Israel and affect the genocide case against the country.
Estrin adds that arrest warrants could pressure Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas official in Qatar, but likely less so for Hamas leaders hiding in Gaza. Scarlett Johansson's legal team is demanding that OpenAI disclose how it developed the voice for its AI personal assistant. The actress says it sounds uncannily like herself.
