The supreme leader of Iran, which backs the Hamas and Hezbollah militants fighting Israel in Gaza and Lebanon, said on Monday that death sentences should be issued for Israeli leaders, not arrest warrants.

The International Criminal Court wants to arrest Israel's prime minister and former defense minister, along with a Hamas leader who's likely dead.

The arrest warrant is not enough... Death sentences must be issued for these criminal leaders,” Khamenei said, condemning Israeli officials for their involvement in the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Lebanon.
