(A7 )Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement today (Tuesday) in which he addressed the threat by the International Criminal Court in The Hague to issue arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials and said that this would be a distortion of justice and history.
Netanyahu began by addressing the plans for the IDF to enter Rafah to eliminate the last Hamas battalions in Gaza. “We will enter Rafah because we have no other choice. We will destroy the Hamas battalions there, we will complete all the objectives of the war, including the return of all our hostages,” he said.
Netanyahu added: “There are many forces trying to prevent us from doing this. Recently another force joined them – the International Criminal Court in The Hague. This court has no authority over the State of Israel.”
“The possibility that he will issue arrest warrants for war crimes against IDF commanders and political leaders, this possibility is a scandal on a historic scale.
