Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that death sentences should be issued for Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, instead of arrest warrants. Khamenei criticized the International Criminal Court's issuance of arrest warrants, deeming them insufficient in response to what he described as war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon. Khamenei emphasized that the actions taken by Israel constitute war crimes and called for more severe measures against its leaders.
