Impeding relief supplies to Gaza’s population may constitute a crime under the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) jurisdiction, the court’s top prosecutor told a news conference in Egypt on Sunday.

Karim Khan also said Israel must make “discernable efforts, without further delay to make sure civilians receive basic foods, medicine”.

Israel, which is not a member of the ICC, has previously rejected the court’s jurisdiction and does not formally engage with its investigations.

    if the individual is illegally seized, doesnt that open the group that captured them to judicial action? like, anyone can claim someone is something that they arent - if they have no way of proving it then it’s basically human trafficking… seems like this sort of thing would need to be decided long before any actual action was taken.
