Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slammed the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor for seeking arrest warrants for him and Hamas officials over suspected war crimes in the Gaza battle.
Mr Netanyahu expressed displeasure at the comparison of “democratic Israel” to “mass murderers”.
Mr. Netanyahu’s remarks were repeated by US President Joe Biden, who stated that there is no comparison between Israel and Hamas.
The lead ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, stated that there were reasonable reasons to suspect Mr Netanyahu and his Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, were criminally responsible for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The ICC is also looking for a warrant for Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ head in Gaza, for war crimes.
