Israel pleads for global pushback against countries honouring ICC arrest warrants

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has directed Israeli ambassadors worldwide to act against countries that choose to uphold what he calls the "scandalous decision" by the ICC to issue arrest warrants. 

“Many significant voices are now being heard in the world against the injustice done to Israel,” Saar said on X.

“This is part of Israel’s campaign for its right to defend itself and its citizens. And we will fight!”

Saar also shared a statement from Paraguay’s foreign ministry, which expressed regret over the ICC warrants, claiming they violate Israel's right to self-defence and represent a “political exploitation of international law”.
