In reply to the discussion: International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister [View all]Mosby
(19,491 posts)Israeli leaders from across the political spectrum united to condemn the decision by a three-judge panel of the international criminal court to issue arrest warrants for the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the former defence minister Yoav Gallant.
Netanyahus office described the warrants as an antisemitic decision
equivalent to the modern Dreyfus trial, referring to the 1894 trial of a French artillery captain of Jewish descent that has become one of the most prominent examples of antisemitism.
Netanyahu added: Israel rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions and charges against it by the international criminal court, which is a biased and discriminatory political body.
