According to reports in several Israeli media, the United States is part of a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.
In the news site Walla, analyst Ben Caspit writes that Netanyahu is “under unusual stress” over the prospect of an arrest warrant against him and other Israelis by the UN tribunal in The Hague, which would be a major deterioration in Israel’s international status.
Netanyahu is leading a “nonstop push over the telephone” to prevent an arrest warrant, focused especially on the administration of US President Joe Biden, Caspit writes.
Haaretz analyst Amos Harel writes that the Israeli government is working under the assumption that the ICC’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, may this week issue warrants for the arrest of Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.
Nothing in the article says the US is doing anything. It just said Netanyahu is trying to convince the US to stop it
I saw that and I wanted to know what exactly the role of Biden or any other whitehouse staff was so I read the rest of the article which said
So the entirety of the involvement according to this publication which says they are involved is that Netanyahu is calling “nonstop” to try to get them to intervene in an organization that they themselves haven’t signed on to? Sure sounds like a lot of involvement at this moment.
The second paragraph I quoted does indicate that the US is currently actively involved
To be fair, we all know the US is going to do everything in its power to protect zionists and their genocide.
