Netanyahu: ICC arrest would be a scandal of 'historic scale'30 Apr 2024 20:08
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Tuesday that a possible arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli commanders and State leaders would be a "scandal on a historical scale."
"No decision, not in The Hague or anywhere else, will in the slightest harm our determination to achieve all the goals of the war," the prime minister said in a video message posted on social media. Besides, he emphasized the country's focus on achieving its war goals.
Recent reports suggest that the Hague tribunal may issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and other Israeli officials. They are being accused of violating humanitarian law in the Gaza Strip. In response to this, the United States is reportedly engaging in a last-minute diplomatic effort to prevent the ICC from issuing any such arrest warrants for the Israeli leadership.
