Prime Minister Netanyahu released a statement today (Tuesday), mocking ICC Prosecutor for meeting with Turkish President Erdogan and PA head Abbas while fighting to have him and Defense Minister Gallant arrested for fighting Hamas in Gaza.

In the statement, Netanyahu said:

"Under the category of 'This can only happen at the UN':

"ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan met yesterday with two great champions of human rights – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, renowned for slaughtering Kurdish civilians and jailing journalists, and with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who denies the Holocaust and pays terrorists who murder Jews.

"Rather than issuing arrest warrants for war crimes against Erdogan and Abbas, Khan remains obsessed with casting as war criminals Israel's democratically elected leaders, who are pursuing a just war with just means against genocidal terrorists.

"What a joke!"
