Jerusalem, 21 November, 2024 (TPS) -- Israel officials across the political spectrum reacted with anger and outrage after the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued unprecedented arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday.
It is the first time warrants have been issued against leaders from a democratic country.
The ICC ruling represents “a dark day for justice and humanity,” said Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
“Taken in bad faith, the outrageous decision at the ICC has turned universal justice into a universal laughingstock. It makes a mockery of the sacrifice of all those who fight for justice – from the Allied victory over the Nazis till today,” he said.
