He's been declared dead by both Israel and Hamas.

How about the Hamas leaders living in Turkey? They were just kicked out of Qatar, and being in (semi-)European Turkey should be easier to arrest, no? Remember, these Hamas leaders in Turkey actually, really, call for explicit genocide - and carry out their actions.

In law we generally prosecute those who are responsible according to the law. Not those who happen to be available so that we have someone to make pay.

Not saying that there are undoubtedly more “bad people” than just him. But that’s not how law works.

Are you suggesting that the Hamas leadership in Turkey is not responsible for the actions of Hamas? Or that pinning responsibility on one person (albeit dead) is enough so there is no more need to pin responsibility on others, even if they are available?

As a single example, Khaled Mashal is in Turkey.
