Statement from We Believe In Israel (WBII) on the ICC Decision

We Believe In Israel (WBII) condemns in the strongest possible terms the UK's decision to withdraw its objection to the ICC's request for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. It is entirely unacceptable to equate the leadership of a democratic state with Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation. Such a comparison undermines the fundamental principles of justice and international law. The UK must uphold a clear distinction between a nation defending its citizens and a group perpetrating terrorism. The decisions made today will significantly shape the UK's international reputation and its legacy in upholding truth and justice. The implications are far-reaching and require immediate reconsideration.
