The Yamina party accused the International Criminal Court of anti-Semitism after the announcement of a criminal investigation against Israel.

"The court in The Hague is an anti-Semitic body immersed in hatred of Israel that encourages terrorism instead of fighting it. Its decision to open an investigation against the State of Israel undoes even the little respect that remains for this institution," the party said.

"While our enemy is firing missiles, placing explosives, stabbing and killing Israelis like animals, the court decides to investigate Israel instead of the child killers and suicide bombers. The IDF is the most moral army in the world and will continue to be so. No Fake investigation will prevent the State of Israel from protecting its citizens."
