4:03Now PlayingThe International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for senior figures involved in Israel's war in Gaza. This includes both Benjamin Netanyahu and Yahya Sinwar. But what does it mean for the leaders and the future of the war in the region?
This is the first time the ICC has targeted the leader of a key ally of the United States.
As the leader of a nation, a warrant would put Netanyahu alongside Vladimir Putin after a warrant was issued for the Russian president's arrest following the invasion of Ukraine.
Reports that the ICC would issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu have been surfacing for months.
Commenting on the possibility in April, Netanyahu said any ICC arrest warrants against senior Israeli government and military officials “would be an outrage of historic proportions.”
He said Israel “has an independent legal system that rigorously investigates all violations of the law.”
Khan reiterated in his interview with CNN today: “Nobody is above the law” and said anyone with objections is "free, notwithstanding their objections to jurisdiction, to raise a challenge before the judges of the court and that’s what I advise them to do.”
Israel, alongside the United States, is not a member of the ICC, but the international body does claim to have jurisdiction over Gaza, east Jerusalem and the West Bank.
