The charges relate to war crimes and crimes against humanity in connection with Hamas' terrorist attacks on October 7 and Israel's subsequent war in Gaza.

The arrest warrant also intends to include Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the two Hamas leaders Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniya, according to Khan.

A panel will now make a decision on the matter.
