On May 20, the Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, filed arrest warrant applications for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three senior Hamas leaders.

Mondoweiss correspondent David Kattenburg called the charges against the Israeli leaders a "bombshell." Khan said the two men "bear criminal responsibility" for a host of war crimes and crimes against humanity including:

starvation of Gazan civilians as a method of warfare,
wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury in the besieged enclave,
wilful killing or murder,
intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population,
extermination by starvation,
and persecution and other “inhumane acts” committed from at least October 8.

All of these crimes form part of a "widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy."

In this episode, Yumna Patel speaks with Hassan Ben Imran, a member of the Governing Council of Law for Palestine, about Palestinians' long effort to access international legal institutions and the impact of this development. Later, I speak to Spencer Ackerman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign policy columnist for The Nation, about how these indictments deepen the crisis of international order.
