‘Reward for terrorism’: Israeli politicians unite to condemn ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu

Leaders from across spectrum are outspoken in rejection of court's antisemitic' and outrageous' decision

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.

Netanyahu's 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.
