'Moral blindness': Israeli reactions to ICC arrest warrants

Sharp words Benny Gantz.

“Placing the leaders of a country that went into battle to protect its citizens, in the same line with bloodthirsty terrorists - is moral blindness,” wrote the former Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz in a post on X. “Accepting the position of the prosecutor would be a historical crime,” he added.

The Israeli opposition leader, Yair Lapid, condemned the nnouncement of the ICC a as a “disaster”, Reuters reported.

Lapid voiced hope that the US Congress would intervent and condemn the ICC measures.
