• On May 20, arrest warrants were simultaneously issued against leaders of Hamas and Israel for carrying out civilian massacres and the devastating war in Gaza.
• The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, faces criticism for equating the crimes on both sides.
• Despite the criticism, the ICC argument is to enforce that international humanitarian law applies impartially to any armed conflict.
• Israel is questioned for blocking the supply of food assistance to Gaza during the conflict.
• The ICC has been accused of legal incompetence but this does not hold up in analysis.
• The so-called 'impunity' of the Israeli army in Palestinian territories is a relevant factor in this matter.

Conclusion: France's support for the ICC underscores the importance of combating such impunity. Now it remains to await the response of a panel of judges regarding the charges presented by Karim Khan. As always, it's necessary for authorities to seek justice rather than silence the ICC.
