US President Joe Biden removed sanctions on Friday that former President Donald Trump placed on two top officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC) reports France 24. The sanctions were among the previous administration’s more aggressive moves targeting international institutions and officials.
Pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC blasted the move warning that it could have damaging affects on Israel who is the target of an investigation by the Hague for war crimes. In a tweet on Friday, AIPAC wrote: “We are disappointed the administration is revoking sanctions on the International Criminal Court officials who are pursuing a baseless and discriminatory attack on the Jewish state. We agree with the administration’s position that the Court doesn’t have jurisdiction over the U.S. and Israel.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in in a statement that Washington still steadfastly disagreed with certain actions taken by the court, who is located in The Hague in the Holland and are responsible with handling war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The United States is not a member country of the court.
“We believe, however, that our concerns about these cases would be better addressed” through diplomacy “rather than through the imposition of sanctions”, Blinken stated.
The sanctions removal was the most recent signal that the Biden White House is intent on appeasing international institutions. This lies in sharp contrast to the Trump administration who unapologetically removed the United States from several international institutions and accords while harshly criticizing them, including the Hague, calling them flawed and working against American interests.
Last month, Israel365 News reported that the ICC secretly colluded with the ICC to prosecute Israel.
Ping.
"Prosecution of Israel".....
Somewhere I've read where that doesn't turn out well for the perps......
Obama’s Muslim influence coming to the fore.
Biden aids the terrorists. I would guess he signed the paper, but does he have any concept of what he is actually doing? You know already, and you also know how the Muslim Brotherhood wing of the Democrat Party is the operative force here. What else can be done in the time they have? Backlash coming.
Bibi was among the first to congratulate Biden. Didn’t waste any time doing so. Another guy and country who benefitted from Trump presidency.
I spit on them. I don’t really care what happens at this point.
Let them pour in by the millions across our borders. Israel? Not our problem. Taiwan? Iran?
Hey...Biden is in charge, let him handle it.
People in this country obviously are so clueless that we’re beyond help.
I have no idea what the future brings.
The second Trump four years, were going to be golden, esp for Israel.
You dumped on the man, Bibi. Sorry.
Just the top Democrat being consistant.
THIS IS OBOZO AND HIS EVIL ILK.
Does this also mean that BIden will allow Justice to prosecute Hunter for all of his worldwide sub-legal deals?
I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3
(I guess believing God says what He means makes me old fashioned.)
i hope American Jewry that voted RAT are pleased with themselves...
That’s one of the great frustrations of all this. Israel had no greater ally. Ever! One of the reasons the satanic left had to take him down....
fixed it
puppetboy got a diaper change and a Puddin Pop for signing the paper.
Just another nail in the prophetic coffin for the USA
Joseph Stolen remembered enough to realize he is still anti-Semitic.
But they keep coming back for more. Take a number. Get in line.
Allows the prosecutions of Americans also.
Bibi looks out for Israel first. Calling Biden wasn’t dumping on Trump, it was looking out for his own people’s interest.
