Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: On Thursday, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant in connection with war crimes in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, in a move to cover up his unwavering support for the Zionist regime’s crimes, announced that the EU would enforce the ICC’s arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.
