Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded vehemently to International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan’s request for an arrest warrant against him. In a video message, Netanyahu called the request “absurd and wrong,” claiming it targeted the entire state of Israel. He criticized Khan for equating Hamas with Israeli soldiers, describing the Israeli army as “the most moral army in the world.”
Netanyahu labeled Khan’s demand as “anti-Semitism” and assured Israelis that the ICC’s attempts to hinder Israel’s defense efforts would fail. He vowed that no international body would prevent Israel from defending itself and pledged complete victory against Hamas.
