    It is the Palestinian Authority - which is in a unity government with Hamas, an avowed terrorist organization that, like ISIS, perpetrates war crimes - that needs to be concerned about the International Criminal Court in the Hague.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Wednesday, 31 December 2014) commented as follows on the decision of the Palestinian Authority to accede to various international treaties:
     
    "It is the Palestinian Authority - which is in a unity government with Hamas, an avowed terrorist organization that, like ISIS, perpetrates war crimes - that needs to be concerned about the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
     
    We will take steps in response and we will defend the soldiers of the IDF, the most moral army in the world.
     
    We will rebuff this additional attempt to force diktat on us just like we rebuffed the Palestinian appeal to the UN Security Council.

    We expect the International Criminal Court to reject outright the Palestinian Authority's hypocritical act because the Palestinian Authority is not a state. It is an entity in alliance with a terrorist organization, Hamas, which perpetrates war crimes. The State of Israel is a nation of laws with a moral army that upholds international law. We will defend the soldiers of the IDF just as they defend us."
