The Spin

Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorist attacks and an obligation to get hostages back from malicious actors. It's beyond outrageous to drawtarget a parallel between the leader of a democratic country andin the same breath as the leader of a terrorist group. ICC's action is a deep distortion of justice and a complete moral failure.

Arab News PK

When it comes to the war or Palestinians more broadly, the UN and its associated bodies are evidently biased against the Jewish state. ICC's attempt to issue arrest warrants against Hamas leaders is akin to equating the victim with the executioner. It encourages Israel to continue its extermination and crimes against humanity against Gaza.
