With its decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, the International Criminal Court “has become a tool for terrorists and the axis of evil” as well as “an enemy of truth, justice and peace,” declares Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi also slams the court, claiming that “unfortunately, progressive leftist organizations in Israel also contributed to this.” He’s apparently referring to Israeli rights groups that have reported on alleged human rights abuses committed by Israel in Gaza
“If this antisemitic tribunal had existed during World War II, it would have also issued arrest warrants against Churchill and Roosevelt and let Nazi Germany take over the world,” Karhi says.
