World reacts to ICC warrants against Netanyahu, Gallant

Jordan’s foreign minister Ayman Safadi says the International Criminal Court’s decision must be respected and implemented, adding the Palestinians deserved justice after what he termed Israel’s “war crimes” in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Meanwhile, the French foreign ministry spokesman says that France’s reaction to the decision will be in line with the court’s statutes.

When asked during a news conference if France would arrest Netanyahu, Christophe Lemoine said it was a legally complicated question. “It’s a point that is legally complex so I’m not going to comment on it today,” he said.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said that the decision to issue these warrants was “not political”, and that the court’s decision should be “respected and implemented”.
