ICC issues arrest warrant for Netanyahu
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant for supposed war crimes committed in Gaza.What's particularly offensive is how they try to hide behind moral equivalence as a shield for going after Netanyahu. His office just issued a statement:
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, brought the application for the warrants earlier this year, along with applications for warrants against Palestinian terrorists, all of whom have since been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The antisemitic decision of the International Criminal Court is a modern Dreyfus trial – and will end the same way.The USA Congress said it would impose sanctions on the ICC for this kind of monstrosity. It's best to take the proper steps now.
Israel utterly rejects the false and absurd charges of the International Criminal Court, a biased and discriminatory political body.
No war is more just than the war Israel has been waging in Gaza since October 7th 2023, when the Hamas terrorist organization launched a murderous assault and perpetrated the largest massacre against the Jewish People since the Holocaust.
The decision to issue an arrest warrant against the Prime Minister was made by a corrupt chief prosecutor who is trying to save himself from sexual harassment accusations and biased judges who are motivated by antisemitic hatred of Israel.
The ICC prosecutor lied when he told American senators that he would take no action until he had visited Israel and heard its side.
Instead, he cancelled his arrival in Israel last May, several days after suspicions of sexual harassment were made against him, and announced his intention to issue arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and former Defense Minister.
No anti-Israel decision will prevent the State of Israel from defending its citizens.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not give in to pressure. He will continue to pursue all the objectives that Israel set out to achieve in its just war against Hamas and the Iranian axis of terror.
Update: here's more about the topic on Red State. And here's an expanded edition of Netanyahu's statement.
Update 2: Congress has now reacted to the offensive motion at the ICC, and one senator makes clear:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., referred to the ICC as "a dangerous joke," declaring in a tweet, "It is now time for the U.S. Senate to act and sanction this irresponsible body."Absolutely.
Update 3: Donald Trump's staff are already preparing steps for sanctions against ICC members involved in this atrocity and travesty.
Update 4: Hungary's premier says he'll invite Netanyahu for a meeting in solidarity.
