All right, Alexander, let's talk about the ICC, the International Criminal Court,

and the threats being made to the ICC by Congress, both Republicans and Democrats,

they are threatening the ICC.

Israel is threatening the ICC.

And all of this comes from an NBC News report, which claims that the ICC is going to or was, was about to issue arrest warrants to Netanyahu as well as other

top Israeli officials. And this has upset the United States, the Biden White House, the State

Department, Republicans, Democrats, and of course, the Israeli government.

Quite a change from a year ago when the ICC was being praised for its arrest warrant issued

against Russian President Vladimir Putin because Putin decided to save children.

Interesting.

Anyway, what are your thoughts?

Well, there's an awful lot one could say about this affair.

Firstly, I think it's worth saying that the ICC have not themselves said

that they were about to issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu and other top Israeli officials.

But then one wouldn't expect them to

confirm it before the arrest warrants themselves were issued. I mean, one doesn't issue

arrest warrants and then tell the person you want to arrest days in advance. Well, actually,

we're looking to arrest you. I mean And that isn't the way it's done.

The point is they haven't denied it. They didn't deny that they have the plan to issue the

arrest warrants. And as you said, it started with that one story in the American media.

But the Israeli media are full of it. And they're apparently getting lots of confirmation from all the usual sources.

And we don't know what those sources are, but all the people in the Hague.
