Netanyahu's office says ICC decision is 'antisemitic'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has said that the International Criminal Court's decision to issue arrest warrants for the leader and former defence minister Yoav Gallant is "antisemitic."

In a statement, the office said Israel "categorically rejects the absurd and false lies" levelled against it by the court.

It added that Netanyahu "will not yield to pressure, will not be deterred and will not retreat" until all Israel's war objectives are achieved.
