Israeli President Isaac Herzog as worked up, as angry as he became, when one of the CNN correspondents asked if Israel felt that it was engaged in war crimes by fighting Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
I'm at the Israeli president's residence in Jerusalem. We've just finished a press conference for the international media.Of course, Gaza is a very densely populated civilian population, approximately 2 million citizens live in Gaza.
And he actually swore at this and just said, "How can you be talking about Israel and being engaged in war crimes?"Another international reporter told the president that he was "confused" by Herzog's answers.Herzog rejected that accusation immediately, arguing he had said nothing of the kind. "If you have a missile in your g—d— kitchen, and you want to shoot it at me, am I allowed to defend myself?" Herzog shot back.CNN reporter Becky Anderson: "The collective punishment of a civilian population amounts to a war crime under international law. The U.S. has warned Israel to uphold laws of war."
