‘Court of politics, not justice’: Tony Abbott slams ICC's ruling on Benjamin Netanyahu

Former prime minister Tony Abbott slams the International Criminal Court as a “court of politics” rather than a court of justice. Foreign Minister Penny Wong says Australia ‘respects’ the ICC’s independence after the body issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Any court that claims moral equivalence between an apocalyptic terror group, Hamas on the one hand, and liberal democratic Israel and its leaders on the other hand – it’s not a court of justice, it’s a court of politics,” Mr Abbott told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
