The Israel Heritage Foundation has strongly condemned the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This move is widely regarded as a blatant display of anti-Israel bias and politicization.

“This is a dark day for justice and a stark reminder of the ICC’s troubling pattern of targeting Israel,” said Rabbi David Katz, executive director the Israel Heritage Foundation. “The ICC’s actions undermine its credibility and demonstrate a disturbing disregard for Jewish life.”

The ICC’s move is seen as a politically motivated attack on Israel’s sovereignty, emphasizing the need for international intervention. The ICC’s stance is a stark embodiment of anti-Zionism and antisemitism. We urge Israel’s allies to take decisive action, including sanctions and unequivocal condemnation.

The Israel Heritage Foundation calls on the international community to recognize the ICC’s bias and demand reform.

Silence is complicity. We must stand united against antisemitism and defend Israel’s right to self-defense.
