Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf appears to dismiss the International Court of Justice ruling calling on Israel to take measures to prevent the commission of genocidal acts against Palestinians.
In an English-language tweet, Wasserlauf, a member of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit party, declares “Never Again” alongside an emoji of an Israeli flag.
His statement follows Ben Gvir’s own public criticism of the court, which he described as “antisemitic.”
Never Again ????????
