“A dark moment for the International Criminal Court,” Saar said on X French foreign ministry’s spokesman Christophe Lemoine said their reaction will be in line with the court’s statutes JERUSALEM: The International Criminal Court has “lost all legitimacy” after issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense chief Yoav Gallant, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Thursday. “A dark moment for the International Criminal Court,” Saar said on X, adding that it had issued “absurd orders without authority.” Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s office rejected the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants against him and his former defense chief, describing them as “anti-Semitic.” “Israel rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions leveled against it by ICC,” his office said in a statement, adding Israel won’t “give in to pressure” in the defense of its citizens. When asked during a news conference if France would arrest Netanyahu, the French foreign ministry’s spokesman Christophe Lemoine said their reaction will be in line with the court’s statutes, but declined to say whether France would arrest the leader if he came to the country. “It’s a point that is legally complex so I’m not going to comment on it today,” he said.
