■ ICC: Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Khan has asked judges to move quickly on his application for arrest warrants against PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as leaders of Hamas. In his request to the court's three-judge pretrial chamber, Khan cited the ongoing fighting in Gaza and the growing risk of further war crimes being committed by both Israel and Hamas.
"When Israel prevents journalists from going into Gaza it prevents them not only from reporting on the horrors of the warfare, but also from examining the claims of Hamas in real time – something that is a clear Israeli interest. When Israel prevents foreign journalists from covering what is happening in Gaza we must ask: What does the state have to hide? How does it benefit from journalists not entering Gaza?" – Haaretz Editorial
