The Palestinian Authority welcomes the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants on Thursday for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“The ICC’s decision represents hope and confidence in international law and its institutions,” it says in a statement published by the official PA news agency Wafa, which urges ICC members to enforce “a policy of severing contact and meetings with internationally wanted individuals, Netanyahu and Gallant.”
