Foreign Minister Gideon Saar made his first official visit to Czechia today (Thursday), where he met with the Czech Senate President Miloš Vystrčil.
In a statement he made during the meeting, Saar said that "it's clear" what the International Criminal Court "is trying to do here, to tie Israel's hands and feet so that it cannot defend itself. According to the 'court' in the Hague, it would not have been possible to beat Hitler in WWII. Just as an agreement to dismantle Czechoslovakia in 1938" was signed in Munich "when it wasn't even in the room, they want to judge Israel in a court of which she is not even a member."
He then went on to praise the Czech people: "I know the Czech nation is a moral and ethical people. I ask you to raise your voice against this injustice."
A number of Senators then criticized the court, one of whom called its decision to issue warrants for the arrest of Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant as "absurd."
