Ambassador Hotovely: 'The ICC has forfeited its legitimacy'

Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely condemned the ICC for issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: "The ICC has forfeited its legitimacy, exposing itself as a political tool. By issuing warrants, the ICC undermines Israel’s right to self-defense and emboldens terrorists who repeatedly threaten global peace and stability. Targeting Israel—a state that upholds international law—only serves to empower those who blatantly defy these laws."
