OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Israel on Monday slammed as a "historical disgrace" an application by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) for an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The Attorney General in the same breath mentions the prime minister and the minister of defence of the State of Israel … a historical disgrace that will be remembered forever," said Israel's foreign minister Israel Katz.
Hamas also condemned the bid by ICC prosecutor for arrest warrants for the group's top leaders including Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar and political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
