Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala calls the ICC prosecutor’s decision to pursue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders “appalling and completely unacceptable.”

“We must not forget that it was Hamas that attacked Israel in October and killed, injured and kidnapped thousands of innocent people,” he writes on X, formerly Twitter.

“It was this completely unprovoked terrorist attack that led to the current war in Gaza and the suffering of civilians in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon.”
