WASHINGTON — A senior Israeli official tears into the United Kingdom for its reported plan to withdraw its objection to the International Criminal Court’s request for arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

״Israel is deeply disappointed by this fundamentally wrong decision,” the senior official says in a briefing with reporters.

“It is contrary to justice and truth and violates the right of all democracies to fight terrorism,” the official adds.
