Khamenei Calls for Death Sentence for Israel's PM Netanyahu and Gallant | N18G

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called for death sentences, rather than arrest warrants, for Israeli leaders following the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ex-Defence Chief Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri. The ICC accuses Netanyahu and Gallant of war crimes, including murder, persecution, and using starvation as a weapon in Gaza. Israel rejected the court's jurisdiction and denied committing war crimes. Khamenei, who supports Hamas and Hezbollah, further escalated tensions by backing their fight against Israel. Gaza residents welcomed the ICC decision, hoping it would lead to justice for war crimes.
