War crimes court ends proceedings against late Hamas leader Haniyeh
THE HAGUE: The International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Friday it had terminated proceedings against late Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh following his death in July. The ICC is currently weighing a request for arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders made earlier this year. In May ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan asked for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders, saying there were reasonable grounds to suspect that Yahya Sinwar, military chief Mohammed Al-Masri and Haniyeh, bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
