Netanyahu’s office added: “The anti-Semitic ruling by the International Criminal Court is comparable to a Dreyfus trial today that will end the same way.” » Condemned for espionage, degraded and sent to prison at the end of the 19th century^th century in France, the Jewish captain Alfred Dreyfus was exonerated and rehabilitated a few years later.

“It’s a dark day for [la CPI]which has lost all legitimacy to exist and to act”, writes Gideon Saar on his account in the Middle East,” adds Mr. Saar, for whom the Court has issued absurd orders.
