An arrest warrant was issued for Deif even though Israel had confirmed that he had been killed in an Israeli airstrike back in August 2024.
Court says 'sufficient and reliable information' that Muhammad Deif was killed last July, will reissue warrant 'should information become available that Mr. Deif is still alive'
The International Criminal Court continues its investigation into crimes in Palestinian territories despite dropping charges against Hamas leader Mohammed Deif. The court withdrew the arrest warrant after reports of Deif's death but maintains its commitment to address potential convictions for other suspects in related war crimes.
The withdrawal of the warrant for Deif means there are now no public ICC arrest warrants for any Palestinian terrorists connected to the October 7 attacks.
