International Jewish figures and organizations have expressed anger and disgust following the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The World Jewish Congress stated that the ICC's decision undermines the pursuit of peace and disregards the right of a nation to act in self-defense. The European Jewish Congress called on European governments to condemn the ruling, while the Jewish Federations of North America criticized the ICC's decision as historically unjust. The Combat Anti-Semitism Movement questioned the coincidence of Israel being the first democratic state to have ICC warrants issued for their arrest, and Stand with Us called for a review of the ICC and for the US and its allies to sanction it.
