Smotrich made the comments as the ICC considers issuing arrest warrants for PM Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Galant, and Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.

“If an arrest warrant is issued for an Israeli citizen by the International Criminal Court or there is recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Nations, I will stop transferring funds to the Authority.”

Israeli officials also began a diplomatic campaign to try and prevent the ICC from issuing the warrants.
