Israel’s ambassador to the UN is one of the latest Israeli officials to express outrage at the ICC’s arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking to Israel’s Arutz Sheva media, ambassador Danny Danon called the ICC warrants “a shameful and political decision”.

“We need to speak with our allies and move forward with a decision to boycott the ICC and anyone who cooperates with it,” said Danon.

During the same interview, Danon also referenced the failed Gaza ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council, which was vetoed by the US on November 20. He accused countries advocating for a ceasefire of “abandoning their own citizens” because “there are hostages from many nationalities”.

“There will be no ceasefire without the hostages,” he added.
