Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced on Thursday the International Criminal Court's decision to issue arrest warrants for him and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, calling the ruling "anti-Semitic", Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

"Israel rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions leveled against it by ICC," his office said in a statement, adding that Netanyahu won't "give in to pressure" in the defence of Israel's citizens.
