Portraying the prime minister of Israel as equivalent to the leaders of Hamas is unacceptable, Poland’s prime minister says, after the International Criminal Court prosecutor requested arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders.

“An attempt to show that the prime minister of Israel and the leaders of a terrorist organization are the same, and the involvement of international institutions in this, is unacceptable,” Donald Tusk tells a news conference.
