Israel's President, Isaac Herzog, has accused the United Nations' International Court of Justice of misrepresenting his words in a recent ruling regarding Israel's actions in the conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The court's ruling, which was issued on Friday, ordered Israel to take steps to protect Palestinians and prevent a potential genocide.
The court's decision referenced a series of statements made by Israeli leaders, including President Herzog, as evidence of incitement and dehumanizing language against Palestinians. Specifically, the report highlighted comments made by Herzog just days after the Oct. 7 Hamas cross-border attack that triggered Israel's war against the militant group.
