Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel "rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions and charges against it," after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of the prime minister and his former defense minister.
The arrest warrant issued Thursday morning alleges that Netanyahu and the minister, Yoav Gallant, were party to alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The statement issued by Netanyahu said the court, which is based in The Hague, was "a biased and discriminatory political body."
"There is nothing more just than the war that Israel has been waging in Gaza since the October 7, 2023, coup, after the terrorist organization Hamas launched a murderous attack against us, committing the greatest massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust," his office said.
The statement pointed a finger at Karim Khan, accusing the ICC's chief prosecutor of bias and describing him as "corrupt."
