Abstract
The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim A.A. Khan, announced on May 20 that his office had applied for arrest warrants against both Israeli and Hamas officials for crimes on and since October 7, 2023. The announcement is surprising for a number of reasons, not least of which is the prosecutor’s publicizing his intention on arrest warrants before they have actually been issued. This article examines the charges labeled against the officials, the Prosecutor’s motivations in making the requests, and the legal and political issues affecting developments in these cases.
