Czech PM slams ICC ruling for putting democratic leaders on par with terrorists
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala rejects the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, along with slain Hamas military chief Muhammad Deif.
“The ICC’s unfortunate ruling undermines authority in other cases by equating the elected representatives of a democratic state with the leaders of an Islamist terrorist organization,” he writes on X.
