Paris (AFP) - Israel and its allies denounced the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even as Turkey -- and rights groups - welcomed the move.
The court also issued warrants for Israel's former defence minister as well as Hamas's military chief Mohammed Deif.
