ICC's arrest warrants: Netanyahu describes it as 'absurd,' Britain and Austria say 'unhelpful'

00:12 The outrageous decision by the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan,
00:16 to seek arrest warrants against the democratically elected leaders of Israel
00:20 is a moral outrage of historic proportions.
00:24 It will cast an everlasting mark of shame on the international court.
00:28 The prosecutor's absurd charges against me and Israel's defense minister
00:32 are merely an attempt to deny Israel the basic right of self-defense.
00:37 And I assure you of one thing. This attempt will utterly fail.
00:42 80 years ago the Jewish people were totally defenseless against our enemies.
00:47 Those days are over. Now the Jewish people have a state
00:52 and we have an army to defend our state.
00:54 Thank you Mr. President.
00:56 Members, the United States commitment to Israel's security is ironclad.
01:00 And I want to repeat, ironclad.
01:04 We want to see Hamas defeated,
01:05 Sinwar and other Hamas leaders brought to justice,
01:08 and the hostages released.
01:11 We have been very clear that we oppose Hamas's control of Gaza.
01:16 At the same time, we also do not support and will not support
01:20 an Israeli reoccupation of Gaza.
01:23 And we have long maintained our objection to any large-scale military operation in Raffa
01:27 that risks mass civilian harm.
01:30 Good morning to our guests from Great Britain.
01:35 And of course we also discussed the war in the Middle East,
01:41 the difficult situation, and we share the view that
01:46 the decision of the International Court of Justice
01:51 was not helpful in this very difficult and challenging time for Israel.

02:11 and the executioner Sawasya. The criminal Netanyahu and Gness, who killed the Palestinian people for 75 years, is the one who resists and demands his right, the country is ours, and we must demand his right, if the golden chain is broken, it will remain in the hands of the generations to demand its right.
02:29 May God destroy your hearts. May God destroy your hearts.
02:35 May God destroy your hearts. May God destroy your hearts.
02:39 The End.
