Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned International Criminal Court Judgement of Warrant of Arrest placed on him and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
He said the judgement is “antisemitic”.
He said the ICC was “falsely” accusing them “of deliberately targeting civilians, this when we do everything in our power to avoid civilian casualties”.
The ICC also issued a warrant for Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. Israel says he was killed in Gaza in July.

ICC judges said there were “reasonable grounds” to believe the three men bore “criminal responsibility” for crimes during the war between Israel and Hamas.
US President Joe Biden called the ICC move against Israeli officials “outrageous”.
“Whatever the ICC might imply, there is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas,” Biden said in a statement. “We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.”
Both Israel and Hamas reject the allegations made by the ICC.
