Hamas welcomes ICC probe, defends own actions as ‘legitimate resistance’

Hamas welcomes the decision by the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into war crimes in the West Bank and Gaza, the terror group says in a statement to Reuters.

Hamas, however, is directly implicated in the war crimes the tribunal seeks to investigate.

In its statement, a Hamas spokesperson defended its actions as “legitimate resistance.”
