The International Criminal Court has so far turned a blind eye to the family of Shiri Bibas and her young sons, who were brutally murdered by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists after being forcefully taken from their homes during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The Bibas boys â Ariel, four, Kfir, nine months, and their mother, Shiri â became the faces of the Israeli hostages held by terrorists in Gaza. All three were brutally murdered and now the mother’s uncle, Maurice Shnaider, wants justice.
Before the court’s Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, was removed for misconduct, Khan oversaw the issuance of controversial arrest warrants in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas terror commander Mohammad Deif, alleging they had committed a variety of war crimes and crimes against humanity.Â

Khans ICC only sought to grant “selective justice” according to legal expert Elliot Malin, who told Fox News Digital that he filed two cases with the Office of the Prosecutor in 2025 requesting warrants against the leaders he accuses of truly practicing war crimes, including genocide, in Israel and Gaza.Â
Malin, president of Stratos Council, filed his first case with the ICC in Sept. 2025. It requested that the court investigate and issue warrants for two Iranian officials for “crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide committed in Israel and Gaza on and after Oct. 7, 2023.” Malin said that “It is very clear that the Islamic Republic is the principal to these proxies who are operating as agents of the regime⦠and we should hold the Islamic Republic directly accountable.”
The request for investigation and warrants was filed on behalf of Shnaider, whose filings say he has lost five generations of his family “to acts committed with the intent to destroy Jews,” including the Holocaust.

On Oct. 7, Shnaider told Fox News Digital that he turned on the news to see his niece, Shiri Bibas, “being taken away” with her young children into captivity. Bibas and her children were later . Shnaider says that he prays that Bibas “didnt witness how they did what they did to a four-year-old and a nine-month-old.”
Shnaiders sister and brother-in-law were also murdered at Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7. He explained that they “were burned inside the house in a brutal way that you cannot imagine, you cannot explain, you cannot answer.” By the time of his sister and brother-in-laws burial, he explained that “there was hardly anything left” to put in the caskets.
Shnaider says that the grief from the horrific losses of his family on Oct. 7 “doesnt compute in my body,” leaving him “choking” with tears. Though Shnaider acknowledges that he will never understand the rationale behind hate, he said that “the most I can do is fight them in the way I can.” He believes it is now up to the ICC “to put a stop to it.” If the ICC fails to do so, Shnaider says the court “should be condemned” for its bias.
While the case against Iranian leaders was filed on behalf of just the Shnaider family, Malin advocates filing a case on behalf of each family who lost relatives during the attacks of Oct. 7.
In Dec. 2025, Malin filed a second case, requesting investigation and arrest warrants for over a dozen Hamas members for a myriad of “war crimes, and crimes against
