The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has alleged that the International Criminal Court have been silent on the atrocities committed by dictators in Iran and Syria, yet they choose to accuse Israel, which he identifies as the sole democracy in the Middle East.
He criticized the decision to issue an arrest warrant against him, describing it as the result of a “rogue prosecutor” and biased judges. He argued that these judges are driven by anti-Semitic sentiments targeting Israel, the only Jewish state. He expressed concern that such actions undermine the ability of democracies to protect themselves from terrorist threats and authoritarian regimes.
He said in an interview with AIJAC from 2:12, “The decision to issue an arrest warrant against me, the democratically elected Prime Minister of the State of Israel and our former Defense Minister, was made by a rogue prosecutor and by biased judges who are motivated by anti-Semitic sentiments against the one and only Jewish State. These judges did nothing about the millions who’ve been murdered by the dictators in Iran and Syria. Instead, they falsely accused the one democracy in the Middle East, Israel, thereby imperiling the right of all democracies to defend themselves against murderous terrorists and tyrants.”
