International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan assembled a panel of experts to determine whether to request arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, ultimately deciding to pursue both.
FIRST ON FOX — Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett added his voice to the growing condemnation of the International Criminal Court after a prosecutor announced he would request arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials. 'It’s a shameful moment for the ICC,' Bennett told Fox News Digital. 'It’s a total joke because they’re taking the leader of a democracy that’s fighting against a terror group. … We fully reject this.
' 'We need to deal with it,' Bennett insisted. 'We’re being accused of trying to starve the Gazans, but when you look at the evidence, we’ve let in 24,000 trucks, 400,000 tons of food and aid. That’s 30% more than before Oct. 7. 'We’ve been bending over backwards to reduce civilian casualties while Hamas is doing everything it can to increase civilian casualties, yet Israel is being accused,' he added. 'We fully reject this. We need to continue and defeat Hamas.
