The Iraqi government appreciates the brave and just stance taken by the International Criminal Court in issuing arrest warrants against the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity and his former Minister of Defense, based on an indictment that condemned them for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.

This historic decision confirms that no matter how far oppression goes and tries to persist, justice and truth will stand against it and prevent it from prevailing in the world. Additionally, the decision is a vindication for the blood of the innocent and the martyrs who have fallen during the criminal war waged by the Zionist entity for over a year on Gaza and Lebanon.

And while we salute this significant step towards achieving justice worldwide, we renew our calls to end the war and urge all free nations to implement this decision and hand over the wanted individuals to the competent courts to receive their due punishment for the blatant violations against humanity they have committed.
