When asked if the decision is a red line for him, he said: “What the red line is is that there are no negotiations with the Palestinians, and they continue to build settlements as if there is no tomorrow, and then they are surprised that there are steps against it.”
“I do not want Israel to stand in these situations and have proceedings filed against us in all kinds of courts, but on the other hand I am in favor of cooperating with the tribunal and not trying to beat it,” he added.
Regarding IDF operations during Operation Resilient Cliff: “We said there were things that should not have been done, and there was massive damage to the civilian population. It is not by chance that the court said that it should be examined. “
The Likud responded: “Nitzan Horowitz is abandoning the IDF soldiers who are guarding him and all of us. The decision of the court in The Hague is an antisemitic decision, and Prime Minister Netanyahu will fight against it anywhere in the world in order to cancel it. “
Tikva responded: “An unfortunate statement by Nitzan Horowitz at the expense of IDF soldiers. No campaign justifies supporting an antisemitic decision and it would be better for him to apologize for it. “
