Israel's former US ambassador and 17th Permanent Representative to the United Nations and Chairman of the World Likud, Danny Danon, slammed the ICC's anti-Israel ruling today.

“The International Criminal Court (ICC) has once again chosen to demonize and persecute Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East."

"This hypocritical and anti-Semitic ruling by Fatou Bensouda, Chief Prosecutor of the ICC, focuses on Israel while ignoring countries who carry out horrific human rights abuses every single day. This lack of accountability is a misuse of the ICC’s power and position, a perversion of justice, and much worse, enables the real and sickening exploitation to continue."

"The decision has broadcast the ICC’s true colors to the international community."

"If anyone should take the stand it should be the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda," said Danon.
