They were set up to prevent such horrors, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/to-stop-the-dead-from-dying\/\" title=\"Preventing Death's Victory\">prevent future genocides<\/a>,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cYet now the International Court is trying to put Israel in the dock. It\u2019s trying to put us in the dock as we defend ourselves against genocidal terrorists and regimes, Iran of course, that openly works to destroy the one and only Jewish state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBranding Israel\u2019s leaders and soldiers as war criminals will pour jet fuel on the fires of antisemitism, those fires that are already raging on the campuses of America and across capitals around the world,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt will also be the first time that a democratic country fighting for its life according to the rules of war is itself accused of war crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ICC is not recognized by many countries, including the United States, Russia, China, India, and many more.<\/p>\n<p>A Biden administration official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/04\/29\/netanyahu-biden-icc-arrest-warrants-war-crimes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Axios: \u201cAs we have publicly said many times, the ICC has no jurisdiction in this situation and we do not support its investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu said that if the ICC targets Israel, it would be \u201ctargeting all democracies because it would be undermining their inherent right to defend themselves against savage terrorism and wanton aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, this threat by the ICC is not an attempt to enforce the law,\u201d he said. \u201cIsrael is not even subject to the court\u2019s jurisdiction and it has an independent legal system that rigorously investigates all violations of the law. Rather, this ICC attempt is an attempt to paralyze Israel\u2019s very ability to defend itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that Israel and its citizens reject the ICC, which they now view as a \u201cgrave threat to our very existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I want to assure you, no ICC action will impact Israel\u2019s iron clad determination to achieve the goals of our war with Hamas terrorists: We will destroy Hamas\u2019s military and governing capabilities in Gaza, we will release all our hostages, and we will ensure that Gaza never poses a threat to Israel again,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to hear this to believe this.
