City of Buenos Aires (Republic of Argentina), Thursday, November 21, 2024 (Lasvocesdelpueblo).- Statement by the Argentine Republic in defence of Israel | The Argentine Republic expresses its profound disagreement with the recent decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants against the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the former Minister of Defence, Yoav Gallant.
This resolution ignores Israel’s legitimate right to defend itself in the face of constant attacks by terrorist organisations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
Israel faces brutal aggression, inhumane hostage-taking, and the indiscriminate launching of attacks against its population. Criminalising the legitimate defence of a nation while omitting these atrocities is an act that distorts the spirit of international justice.
Argentina stands in solidarity with Israel, reaffirms its right to protect its people and demands the immediate release of all hostages. We call on the international community to condemn the actions of Hamas and Hezbollah, to defend Israel’s sovereignty and to act justly and impartially in the search for a lasting peace in the region.
