“The decision of the anti-Semitic Hague Court demonstrates what was already known: this court does not seek justice but the persecution of the Jewish people,” he said.

“Decisions that endanger the existence of the State of Israel should not be heard,” the far-right politician said.

“We must continue crushing the enemy until a total victory,” Ben-Gvir stated after the ICJ ordered Israel to “take all measures to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.”

His statements come as the Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 25,900 since Oct. 7, 2023.

Meanwhile, in a video statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel “will continue to defend itself against Hamas,” thus denying once again that the Israeli occupation forces’ deadly offensive in Gaza is against Palestinian civilians.

The Zionist leader also rejected the charge of “genocide” leveled by South Africa as “not only false, it’s outrageous.”
