Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett blamed Qatar for the ICC cases against Israeli leaders, and said he expects Israel leaders to call Qatar “an enemy”.
“They're killing us. They're killing our soldiers. Qatar is killing Israeli citizens,” Bennett said on Wednesday on an Israeli podcast.
He accused Qatar of financing the former ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who sought arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.
