HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

A statement regarding the ICC’s announcement of seeking arrest warrants for the Israeli Prime Minister and Israel’s Defense Minister, along with Palestinian resistance leaders in Gaza.

✅ We strongly condemn the attempts by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to equate the victim with the aggressor by issuing arrest warrants against a number of Palestinian resistance leaders, without legal basis, thereby violating the treaties and United Nations resolutions that have granted the Palestinian people and all peoples under occupation the right to resist occupation in all forms, including armed resistance, especially in accordance with the United Nations Charter as stipulated in Article (51).

✅ The announcement by the International Criminal Court to request arrest warrants for only two of the war criminals of the Zionist entity came seven months late, as the occupation committed thousands of crimes against Palestinian civilians.

✅ We demand that the Prosecutor issue arrest warrants for all war criminals among the leadership of the occupation, officers, and soldiers who participated in crimes against the Palestinian people. We also demand the cancellation of all arrest warrants issued against leaders of the Palestinian resistance for violating international treaties and resolutions.

✅ The Prosecutor should have issued arrest warrants against all responsible officials from the leadership of the occupation who gave the orders, and the soldiers who participated in the commission of the crimes, in accordance with Articles 25, 27, and 28 of the Rome Statute, which affirmed the individual criminal responsibility of every official, leader, or any person who ordered, incited, committed, assisted, or aided in the commission of crimes, or failed to take action to prevent their commission.
