Anger after ICC seeks arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders | Ebrahim Raisi funeral in Iran

This is SBS World News with 15 minutes of the top headlines from Australia’s leading world news broadcaster.

▷ There have been mixed international responses to the arrest warrants sought for key Israeli and Hamas leaders, over alleged war crimes in the Gaza conflict.

France is backing the International Criminal Court's prosecutor, who wants arrest warrants issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, among others. But the UK says the action is 'not helpful' in stopping the fighting, or getting hostages released.

Some legal experts are calling the prosecutor's move a key milestone in the seven-month-old conflict.

▷ Thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets for the funeral procession of President Ebrahim Raisi who was killed in a helicopter crash. Seven others including the country's foreign minister died in the incident.
