IDF Chief of Staff Criticizes ICC War Crimes Probe of Israel
(Jerusalem Post) IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi on Sunday criticized the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Israel, N12 reported. "The decision by the lead prosecutor of the ICC to open an investigation of the IDF and Israel is the crossing of a red line," he said. "Our enemies are those who chose to position themselves in populated areas and to store thousands of missiles and rockets that, by definition, harm civilians." Kohavi noted that the IDF carries out its operations professionally and morally, while maintaining international law. He blamed the ICC for being "disconnected from the complexities of wars in this day and age."
