Academy Award-winning actor George Clooney called one of President Biden’s top aides last month to complain about the president’s criticism of the International Criminal Court’s action against Israeli leaders — a case his wife, Amal Clooney, worked on, according to three people familiar with the conversation.
Clooney called Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, to express concern about Biden’s denunciation of arrest warrants sought by ICC prosecutors for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, especially his use of the word “outrageous.” The prosecutors also sought warrants for top Hamas leaders.
The actor was also upset about the administration’s initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.
Clooney’s call came just weeks before he is set to appear at a fundraiser for Biden’s reelection campaign next Saturday in Los Angeles. His concerns spread throughout Biden’s orbit, leaving some officials to worry that the high-profile actor would withdraw from participating in the marquee fundraiser, which will also feature former president Barack Obama, late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel and actress Julia Roberts.
For weeks, Biden’s reelection campaign has been running a fundraising contest for supporters to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to meet Obama, Clooney and Roberts at the event. Clooney still plans to attend the fundraiser, the people said.
The Biden campaign disputed the notion that there were serious worries about Clooney dropping out of the fundraiser. Clooney, through a representative, declined to comment, as did the White House.

I can dream, can't I?
Uh, George, Biden has no idea who you are and he’s not even sure what this thing, Israel, is that you referred to. How about you ask him about chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream? You’ll probably have better luck.
Sorry George, you and your wife sided with a group of barbarians who brag about putting babies in ovens.
I thought that has been debunked and did not happen.
shouldna married a muzzie there, Georga.
Him and DeNiro can get together and have a whine and cheese party.
The Biden administration made a big mistake by siding with Israel. It shows utter contempt for their base.
“For weeks, Biden’s reelection campaign has been running a fundraising contest for supporters to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to meet Obama, Clooney and Roberts at the event.”
Wow, I’d donate so I NEVER EVER have to meet those vile people.
No, it did happen. There are videos showing it.
George should have stayed with Stacy Kiebler. She is way hotter than his wife
“shouldna married a muzzie there, George”
Her families background is Druze, so they have some elements of Christianity. At least no hatred towards Christians as the Duze and Christians generally got along in the Middle East over the centuries. But she is secular and is a radical leftist scumbag whom I’m sure her husband shares her values.
Trouble is, Joe Biden answered the phone: “Don’t worry, George, I love Rosemary’s songs so I’ll put in a good word for her.”
Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe (1943)
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He’s got a smile that make the lilac wanna grow
He’s got a way that make the angels heave a sigh
When they know Joe’s passing by.
Add that ugly clooney woman to the list for President Trump’s woke vengeance tour.
It take a lot of work and promises to keep a beard happy and quiet.
Amal Clooney took a stand she can face the consequences.
That's funny, she doesn't look Druzish.
