International Jewish figures and organisations have reacted with anger and disgust following the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The European Jewish Congress stated that it was appalled by the ICC decision and called on the heads of European governments and the European Union to strongly and unequivocally condemn this ruling.
“It is beyond shocking that the leaders of a democratic state defending its own citizens can be made into international fugitives after a brutal invasion with a terror organization that uses rape, murder, and kidnap as its principal tools of war,” EJC President Dr Ariel Muzicant said.
