TEL AVIV, November 21. /TASS/. Israeli President Isaac Herzog criticized the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

In his view, it is an "unconscionable and outrageous decision."

"It’s a dark day for justice. A dark day for humanity. The ICC’s unconscionable, outrageous decision has turned universal justice into a universal mockery," Herzog stated. "It mocks the sacrifices of all those who fight for justice — from the Allied victory over the Nazis to the present day." The office of the Jewish head of state distributed his remarks.
