Iranian spokesman hails ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant
“We welcome any step to serve justice and end Israeli regime's impunity for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in occupied Palestine and elsewhere,” he stated.
“Chronic procrastination in holding Israel accountable - mainly due to US's covert/overt obstructions and bullying- has allowed atrocity crimes to persist in occupied Palestine,” the Iranian spokesman added.
“Full and immediate implementation of this arrest warrants will test the effectiveness of the international criminal justice,” Baqaei stated, adding, “Hope this late decision would not be manipulated through abuse of process.”
