National Unity chairman Benny Gantz joins the chorus of Israeli lawmakers blasting today’s ICJ ruling rejecting Israeli presence in the territories.
“It is yet another testament to external interference that is not only both counterproductive to regional security and stability and overlooks the massacre of October 7th and terror from Judea and Samaria, but serves as another example of the ‘judicialization’ of a political conflict,” Gantz says.
“We vow to both continue defending ourselves in the face of those seeking our destruction and to protect the one and only Jewish State.”
Yisrael Beytenu chairman says the ruling was “another antisemitic show from the ICJ, which once again emphasized its blatant hypocrisy.
“While a war was launched against the State of Israel on six different fronts, the International Court of Justice in The Hague chose to launch its own campaign, the whole purpose of which is to harm Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism,” he says.
