Israel's President Isaac Herzog: ICC decision is 'beyond outrageous'

Israel's President Isaac Herzog has condemned the ICC chief prosecutor's decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, calling it "beyond outrageous".

"Any attempt to draw parallels between these atrocious terrorists and a democratically elected government of Israel - working to fulfill its duty to defend and protect its citizens entirely in adherence to the principles of international law – is outrageous and cannot be accepted by anyone," Herzog said.
