Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

From the depth of our heart, we thank US Secretary of State @SecPompeo that he and President @realDonaldTrump’s administration are struggling against these distortions, this injustice and this mendacity on a daily basis. We will continue to struggle against this always. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

We will continue to fight against these three absurdities. We will continue to shatter them. We will struggle for our rights and for our historical truth with all the tools at our disposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The third absurdity is that the prosecutor’s decision contradicts contemporary truth. Who are they bringing here? Who are they accusing here? Iran? Turkey? Syria? No – Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. This is terrible hypocrisy. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The second absurdity is that the prosecutor’s decision contradicts historical truth. It opposes the right of the Jews to settle in the Jews’ homeland. To turn the fact that Jews are living in their land into a war crime is an absurdity of unimaginable proportions. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

They took a Palestinian claim, who do not have a state, and accused the only democracy in the Middle East, which operates in accordance with the highest legal standards of the western democracies, which the court has no jurisdiction over. This is the first absurdity. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

It was designed to do so for states that did not have true judicial systems in law, which are present – of course – in the western world. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The ICC was established after the horrors of World War II, mainly the horrors that were inflicted on our people, and it was designed to deal with problems that states would raise regarding war crimes, such as genocide or large-scale deportations. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The prosecutor’s decision against Israel is absurd on three counts. The first absurdity is that the prosecutor’s decision completely contradicts the founding principle of the court itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

While we are moving forward in new areas of hope and peace with our Arab neighbors, the ICC in The Hague has taken a step backwards. On Friday, it finally became a weapon in the political war against the State of Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

I cannot go into detail about all of the moves I have led together with my colleagues over the years. I can only say that this remark is the result of the ripening of many contacts and efforts, which at the moment, and I emphasize at the moment, would be best served by silence. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The UAE Foreign Minister, Abdullah bin Zayed, spoke about a new alliance in the Middle East: An Israeli-Arab alliance. This is the direct result of our policy, which has turned Israel into a rising power in the region and the world. — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome the closer relations between Israel and many Arab states. The time has come for normalization and peace. أرحب بالتقارب الذي يحدث بين إسرائيل والكثير من الدول العربية. لقد آن الأوان لتحقيق التطبيع والسلام. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

PM: "The ICC has turned into a political weapon against Israel and our connection to our homeland. They are trying to turn the fact that Jews live in their homeland into a war crime. It is absurd. We will fight for our rights and for the historic truth in every possible way." — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a letter to world leaders following the decision of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

We will not be silent. We will not bow our heads before this outrage. We will continue to speak out against this travesty of justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

She has also completely ignored history and the truth when she says that the very act of Jews living in their ancestral homeland, the land of the Bible, that this a war crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The ICC prosecutor's decision has turned the International Criminal Court into a political tool to delegitimize the State of Israel. The prosecutor has completely ignored the legal arguments we presented to her. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

The court has no jurisdiction in this case. The ICC only has jurisdiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states. But there has never been a Palestinian state. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "This is a dark day for truth and justice. The ICC prosecutor has decided not to dismiss outright the Palestinian claim against the State of Israel. It is a baseless and outrageous decision. https://t.co/SM1ve1ombw — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today by telephone with the mother of Naama Issachar and told her: "Despite the disappointment of the court verdict – I am not giving up. I will continue to do everything to bring Naama back home." — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

I commend the ISA, IDF and the [Israel Police] Special Anti-Terrorism unit for apprehending the reprehensible terrorists who murdered Rina Shnerb and wounded her father and brother. The long arm of Israel reaches all those who seek our lives and it will continue to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Know that you have no better friends than the people and the government of Israel. Welcome friends. This is a great day for our friendship. 🇮🇱🇧🇷 https://t.co/fXbJblHYGK — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

I have to say that the friendship is unbelievable. We saw this everywhere we went, including in the inauguration itself in Brasília where crowds were cheering for President Bolsonaro but those same crowds cheered the Prime Minister of Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

We came and we were so deeply impressed with not only with his friendship, and your friendship Eduardo and so many others in your government and in the Congress, but also in the friendship with the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

One of the things that I will always remember, and my wife Sara will remember with me, is the extraordinary visit to Brazil during President Bolsonaro's inauguration. — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

We are supporting Brazil in every way that we can, including in the support for the dam tragedy that happened and then the fires in the Amazon. Israel was there, and Israel will always be there, for the people of Brazil and for our common friendship. 🇮🇱🇧🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM

I want to say is how much I appreciate President Bolsonaro's stance in supporting Israel in intl. forums. President Bolsonaro immediately changed policy and said, "We stand with Israel. We stand with the truth" We stand here in Israel with Brazil because we stand with the truth — PolitiTweet.org
