Israeli public figures responded to the ICC announcement that it would investigate Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.
Professor Eugene Kontorovich, Director of International Law at the Jerusalem-based Kohelet Policy Forum said the ICC’s opening of the investigation “is entirely unjustified – and predictable, given its longstanding lawless bias against the Jewish state.”
“The Prosecutor today makes a mockery of international criminal law,” he added, accusing the court of becoming a “judicial arm of the U.N. anti-Israel echo chamber.”
