# The South African Communist Party has welcomed the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over war crimes. This comes after the ICC rejected Israel’s legal challenge under the Rome Statute. However, the SACP condemned the ICC’s simultaneous warrant against Palestinian leader Mohammed Deif, citing unjust equating of oppressors and oppressed.
