The Israeli Foreign Ministry considers this decision outrageous. Israel expects leaders of the free world to condemn the move. This was stated by Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz.
The outrageous decision of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague is an unrestrained frontal attack on the victims of October 7 and our 128 hostages in the Gaza Strip, he wrote.
The diplomat was outraged that the prosecutor put the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister together with the “vile Nazi monsters” of Hamas. He considers it a “historical disgrace.”
Katz added that he intends to speak with the foreign ministers of the world’s leading countries to urge them to oppose the prosecutor’s decision and state that even if warrants are issued, they do not intend to use them against Israeli leaders.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog called the statement of the ISS prosecutor more than outrageous and believes that this move is a unilateral political move that emboldens terrorists around the world and violates all the basic rules of the court in accordance with the principle of complementarity and other legal norms.
Let us recall that on May 20, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announced that he was demanding the issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant and three Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Deif and Ismail Haniyeh.
