Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant described on Thursday a request by the International Criminal Court prosecutor for arrest warrants against him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "disgraceful" bid to interfere in the Gaza war. "The attempt by Prosecutor Karim Khan to deny the State of Israel the right to self-defence and to free its hostages must be rejected out of hand," Gallant said in a post on X. In his statement announcing the application for arrest warrants on Monday, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan had stressed Israel had the right to defend its population.
