Israel has been continuously attacking the Palestinian territory of Gaza for more than 9 months. More than 39,000 Palestinians have been killed so far. The anger against Israel is increasing around the world.
Allegations of genocide have also been raised against the country. In such a situation, the Palestinian independence armed group Hamas said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested as a war criminal. Anadolu news agency reported this information in a report on Thursday.
Hamas on Thursday condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s opportunity to address the US Congress, saying he should have been arrested as a war criminal, the news agency said.
Hamas said in a statement, “Instead of giving him the opportunity to shine his image before the world and to give him a platform to cover up the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Netanyahu should have been arrested as a war criminal and handed over to the ICC (International Criminal Court). ‘
Netanyahu arrived in the United States last Monday. On Thursday, he met with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. He is also scheduled to meet former President Donald Trump in Florida on Friday before returning to Israel.
