JERUSALEM, May 21 — Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant today described a request by the International Criminal Court prosecutor for arrest warrants against him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "disgraceful” bid to interfere in the Gaza war.

"The attempt by Prosecutor Karim Khan to deny the Stat of Israel the right to self-defence and to free its hostages must be rejected out of hand,” Gallant said in a post on X. — Reuters
