Netanyahu: ICC Prosecutor's Decision is "Absurd"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that "the decision of the International Criminal Court's prosecutor today, Monday, to request an arrest warrant against him is absurd and that it aims to target all of Israel." Netanyahu rejected the prosecutor's "disgusting comparison" between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas. Netanyahu stated: "With what audacity do you compare Hamas, which has killed, burned, slaughtered, beheaded, raped, and kidnapped our brothers and sisters and soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces who are waging a just war."
