Netanyahu rejects the decision of the International Court of Justice on Gaza
Israel rejected the decision of the International Court of Justice to take temporary measures in the case of genocide in the Gaza Strip . Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu informed about this .
"Like all countries, Israel has the right to defend itself. Any attempt to deny this fundamental right is blatant discrimination against the Jewish state and we rightly reject it. Blaming Israel for genocide is not only wrong, but shocking, and all conscientious people should reject it," the prime minister said in a video address.
According to him, "Israel's commitment to international law is inviolable." " But our sacred duty to continue to defend our country and our people is just as steadfast," he added.
The head of the government said that Israel will continue to "protect itself from Hamas by using all possible means to avoid harming Palestinian civilians."
Netanyahu called on the ministers not to comment on the decision of the International Court of Justice
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the government members not to comment on the decision of the International Court of Justice on the genocide in the Gaza Strip. This was reported by the Israeli state TV channel " KAN " .
Israel's national security and defense ministers accused the International Court of "anti-Semitism".
Israel's Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, in turn, accused the International Court of "anti-Semitism".
"The decision of the anti-Semitism court in The Hague proves what is already known: this court does not seek justice, its goal is to persecute the Jewish people," said the far-right politician.
He said the International Court of Justice "remained silent on the Holocaust and took another hypocritical step today."
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also accused the International Court of "anti-Semitism".
According to him, with the adoption of the decision on temporary measures, the International Court of Justice has left its "framework" more than expected.
"The State of Israel does not need to be taught how to draw a line between terrorists and civilians in the Gaza Strip," Gallant said.
"The State of Israel will not forget October 7 - the Israeli army and security forces will continue to work to destroy the political and military potential of the terrorist organization Hamas and to achieve the return of the hostages to their homes," the minister added.
It should be noted that on January 26, the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague adopted a decision on temporary measures against Israel due to the suspicion of genocide within the framework of the case against Israel for violation of the requirements of the UN Convention on Genocide due to the bloodshed committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip.
