Families of Israeli hostages to file war crimes complaint against Hamas in The Hague

[IsraelTimes] Some 100 relatives of Israelis held in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
will submit charges of kidnapping, sexual violence, torture and other allegations to the International Criminal Court on Wednesday.
Over the past four months, lawyers for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which is representing the hostages’ relatives, have prepared a legal submission demanding that arrest warrants be issued against the Hamas

leadership for the October 7 atrocities.
Several dozen lawyers together with around 100 representatives of the families of the hostages will file the complaint, while the forum says it expects several thousand Dutch Jews to turn up at the ICC for the submission.
It is believed that 130 hostages kidnapped by Hamas during its savage October 7 assault remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released prior to that. Three hostages have been rescued by troops, and the bodies of 11 hostages have been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military.
The complaint will include charges against Hamas leaders of "kidnapping, crimes of sexual violence, torture and other serious allegations," the forum said in a statement to the press.
Work on the submission to the ICC was led by Dr. Shelly Aviv Yeini of the Minerva Center for the Rule of Law under Extreme Conditions at the University of Haifa along with attorney Yuval Sasson from the Meitar Law Offices firm, which assigned several dozen lawyers to help draft the complaint.
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights also participated in preparing the submission.
The forum said that the "short-term goal" of the complaint was to obtain arrest warrants against Hamas leaders, which, it added, would "exert significant pressure to have the remaining hostages freed and serve as a mechanism for bringing about justice to the victims and their families."
Prof. Robbie Sabel of the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University noted that the ICC’s chief prosecutor, Karim Kahn, has already stated that he is carrying out an investigation into Hamas’s actions, as well as Israel’s military operation in Gaza.
But he added that the submission by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum could help further advance the investigation into Hamas.
Sabel said that Khan has "a reputation for being a fair and reasonable lawyer" but added that he was "of course subject to public pressure."
He also cautioned that it typically takes a significant period of time for the ICC to issue arrest warrants after a complaint is filed.
The Paleostinian Authority accepted the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in 2015, giving the court jurisdiction over Paleostinian citizens in Paleostinian territories, including Gaza. Israel has not ratified the Rome Statute, which established the ICC, and therefore sees itself as not subject to the court’s jurisdiction.
