The Latest | ICC prosecutor's request for arrest warrants condemned by both Israel and Hamas

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court says he’s seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders in connection with their actions during the seven-month war. Israel and Hamas both immediately denounced Monday's announcement by ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan. Khan announced his intention the same day Israel said it would expand operations in the southern Gaza city of Rafah in its effort to crush Hamas. Adding to the region's extraordinary tensions, Iranian officials announced the death of its president and foreign minister Monday in a helicopter crash. Iran backs Hamas, and last month launched an unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel.
