The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top Hamas leaders.

Prosecutor Karim Khan says these warrants have been put forward for alleged crimes committed during the Hamas-led October 7 attack and the subsequent war on Gaza.

Geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller says it's extremely likely that these warrants will be issued.

"The bar isn't that high for simply granting the arrest warrants. So I think they're probably likely to do that."
