Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that any rulings issued by the International Criminal Court will not affect Israel’s actions but would “set a dangerous precedent”, Reuters reports.

“Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the International Criminal Court in the Hague to undermine its basic right to defend itself,” Netanyahu said in a statement shared on Telegram.

“While decisions made by the court in the Hague will not affect Israel’s actions, they will set a dangerous precedent that threatens soldiers and public figures.”
