Alternatively, he suggested that T\u00fcrkiye could do it and that Pakistan would \u201cpray\u201d for such an outcome.<br \/>\nIsrael\u2019s image has been badly damaged by the conflict in Gaza, prompted by an October 2023 surprise attack on the south of the country launched by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which left 1,200 dead. West Jerusalem responded with heavy bombardment and ground operations in the Palestinian enclave, which claimed the lives of 70,000 Palestinians, according to the local health authorities. The campaign also led to the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and then Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes.<br \/>\nWashington slammed the ICC decision and imposed sanctions against the prosecutors who sought the warrant against Netanyahu and Gallant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israeli prime minister is the \u201cworst criminal of humanity,\u201d the Pakistani defense minister has claimed Washington should order its military to capture Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and \u201cprosecute&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-environment","category-politics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mongolianews.mn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
