The leader of the Central Council of Jews in Germany denounced the International Criminal Court in The Hauge on Thursday over arrest warrants issues for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the former defence minister.
“This arrest warrant against a prime minister of a democratic state and his former defence minister is an absurdity,” said Central Council President Josef Schuster in Berlin.
The ICC on Thursday ordered the arrest of Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as the leader of the Palestinian militant Islamist group Hamas, Mohammad Diab Ibrahim Al-Masrias well as the leader of the Palestinian militant Islamist group Hamas, also known as Mohammad Deif.

The ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan requested the arrest warrants in May.
Schuster reacted indignantly and demanded that the “German government must not accept this perpetrator-victim reversal.”
“Israel is defending itself against Islamist terror in Gaza and Lebanon after the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023,” he said. “The semantic dualism alone, putting Israel on the same level as Hamas, borders on impudence and a completely misguided understanding of the office of an international criminal court as a result of anti-Israel propaganda.”
