Russia has strongly criticized the negative reaction of the United States to the request of Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), to request the issuance of a warrant to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime of Israel on suspicion of criminal involvement of war in the Gaza Strip.
Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia said that the action of the United States against issuing a warrant against Netanyahu shows the hypocrisy and duplicity of Washington.
Zakharova said this in a message she sent on her Telegram social network page and added that: The US radiation resembles the behavior of a scorpion that has bitten, or a spider that is caught in its web.
The high-level Russian diplomat has emphasized that the terrifying situation witnessed in the Middle East (West Asia) is the result of the work of American political engineers.
Various American leaders, including President Joe Biden, have strongly criticized the request of Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the ICC) to issue a warrant against Netanyahu. However, many countries in the world, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, South Africa, Colombia and even Palestine itself, have been pressuring the court based in The Hague in the Netherlands to arrest Netanyahu for being involved in war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
The pressure to ask the ICC to arrest Netanyahu is happening in a situation where the American leaders are continuing a major campaign to prevent any action by the international court to issue a warrant for the arrest of Israel's criminal and genocidal leaders, especially Netanyahu.
