Argentina Says ICC Warrants "Ignore" Right to Self-Defense
(Buenos Aires Times-Argentina) Argentine President Javier Milei on Thursday condemned the warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest. President Milei expressed Argentina's "profound disagreement" with the international tribunal. The decision "ignores Israel's legitimate right to self-defense against the constant attacks by terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hizbullah." Israel was currently "facing brutal aggression, inhumane hostage-taking" and an "indiscriminate" attack on its citizens. "Criminalizing the legitimate defense of a nation while omitting these atrocities is an act that distorts the spirit of international justice." Argentina has the largest Jewish community in Latin America.
