The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back at the Hague court for its anti-Semitic decision. He compared the decision to the Dreyfus trial and said it would end the same way. Also warned of facing serious consequences. Let us tell you, the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Thursday issued arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister, his former Defense Minister Yoav Galant and several Hamas officials. Accused them of war crimes and crimes against humanity arising from the war in Gaza and the October 2023 attacks, which began Israel’s invasion of Palestinian territory.
He also gave a stern warning and said that those who support the ICC and its decision will have to face serious consequences. He also accused Iran of waging war against Israel through Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. He said, ‘Our enemies are your enemies. Our victory will be your victory. Civilization will prevail over barbarism and tyranny

This ICC decision has made Netanyahu and others internationally wanted suspects. The move by the International Criminal Court is expected to complicate efforts to negotiate a ceasefire to end the 13-month-long conflict. However, its practical effects may be limited because Israel and its major ally, the US, are not members of the ICC.
Israeli PM Netanyahu released a video on X just hours after the warrant was issued. He said, ‘The anti-Semitic decision of the International Court of Justice based in The Hague is the modern Dreyfus trial and it will end the same way. The Dreyfus trial was a trial conducted in 1894 against a Jewish military officer of the French military. The officer was convicted of political corruption and sentenced to life imprisonment. The military officer was accused of leaking secret documents of the French military. However, he was later found innocent and was reappointed as an officer in the French army.
