JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the decision of the ICC prosecutor on May 20 to seek arrest warrants against him and his defence minister was absurd and that the move was meant to target all of Israel.
“Citizens of Israel, I promise you one thing - the attempt to tie our hands will fail,” he said. “As prime minister of Israel, I pledge that no pressure and no decision in any international forum will prevent us from striking those who seek to destroy us.”Foreign Minister Israel Katz slammed the bid for an arrest warrant as a “historical disgrace” and a “scandalous decision” that amounted to “a frontal attack... on the victims of Oct 7”.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said the application showed that the “international judicial system is in danger of collapsing”.
