No foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader, no one can act with impunity. Prosecutors accuse israel of a state sanctioned attack against gazas civilian population, including extermination and using starvation as a weapon of war.

Hamas have said they believe the icc is confus

Good evening. Just some of the faces of the victims of 50 years of the infected blood scandal.
