Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared Tuesday on 'Good Morning America.'
A plan by an International Criminal Court prosecutor to apply for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders is “absurd,” casting a “terrible stain” on the court, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan said he would seek warrants for both Netanyahu and Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. Khan laid out a list of allegations against Netanyahu and Gallant, including starvation of civilians, willfully causing great suffering and other "inhumane acts." The prosecutor's statement came as Israel continued weighing a potential full-scale invasion into Rafah, a southern Gazan city where many Palestinians have sought refuge during Israel's war with Hamas.
"The battle in Rafah is critical. It is not only the remaining battalions there but their escape and supply pipelines," Netanyahu said last week while speaking to troops afterof the Gaza Strip. "This battle, of which you are an integral part, is a battle that will decide many things in this campaign."Netanyahu early this month met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken for more than two hours in the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem.
