Israeli President Isaac Herzog said the ICC prosecutor’s decision on Monday to seek arrest warrants against the country’s Prime Minister and Defence Minister was “beyond outrageous” and would embolden terrorists around the world. “Any attempt to draw parallels between these atrocious terrorists and a democratically elected government of Israel – working to fulfil its duty to defend and protect its citizens entirely in adherence to the principles of international law – is outrageous and cannot be excepted by anyone,” Mr Herzog said.
