On the left of the French political spectrum, the arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders were welcomed. “The ICC's decision against Netanyahu and Gallant is the indisputable consequence of their strategy of annihilation, still at work”estimated the head of environmentalists, Marine Tondelier, on X. For Olivier Faure, the boss of the PS, “this decision must lead Western countries to immediately interrupt all deliveries of weapons used in Gaza”.
“Netanyahu is a war criminal now actively wanted”welcomed the leader of the “rebellious” deputies, Mathilde Panot, on the same social network, while the coordinator of La France insoumise, Manuel Bompard, judged that France should “come out of your denial and finally act to end the genocide in Gaza”.
On the right, Philippe Juvin questioned the legitimacy of the ICC. “Who does not see the very worrying drift of international institutions which make the fight against Israel a common point of all these people who, deep down, do not exercise democracy in their own country? »asked the MP on Sud Radio. “Anything that hinders a political solution is not necessarily welcome at the moment”reacted the deputy (Renaissance) Sylvain Maillard.
“There is clearly a desire to humiliate Israel through this decision”regretted for his part the vice-president of the National Rally, Sébastien Chenu, on Franceinfo, calling on France to “show this friendly country its support with a little more energy”.
