Netanyahu Affirms US Support for ICC
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that the United States intends to take measures against the International Criminal Court, in response to the arrest warrant issued against him and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant. Netanyahu claimed that the court threatens global justice and the sovereignty rights of democratic countries, accusing ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan of trying to divert attention and rally Israel's enemies behind him. This comes amid international efforts, most notably the isolation of Karim Khan due to allegations of "sexual harassment," with 82 out of 125 countries voting in favor of his removal. Meanwhile, American Senator Marco Rubio criticized the court, calling it "stupid" and refusing to have the United States join it. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese linked Khan's removal to efforts to undermine Netanyahu's arrest warrant, emphasizing that such actions pose a threat to international justice and highlighting the need for lawyers and judges worldwide to work more diligently to ensure judicial independence.
