Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Thursday that Italy respects the
International Criminal Court (ICC) after it issued arrest
warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his
former defence minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas's military chief
Mohammed Deif, adding that Rome would assess what to do about
this decision with its allies.
"We support the ICC, while always remembering that the court
must play a legal role and not a political role," Tajani said.
"We will evaluate together with our allies what to do and how to
interpret this decision".
Tajani said the government would "see what are the contents of
the decision and the reasons that led to this decision by the
court".
