The ICC has three general categories of charges. The most serious is Article 6, "Genocide". This is how the leader of Sudan was charged.

The leaders of Israel and Hamas were all charged only under Articles 7 and 8, which are less serious. Article 7 is "Crimes against humanity". Article 8 is "War crimes".
