Good for him. fyi, alot of normal people do not know Bibi has a warrant from the ICC for warcrimes.

Edit: just for context, I would say this is a way to expand the permission structure since he doesn't have the power, but he does have the bully pulpit.

Social and Behavioral Expansion involves shifting collective norms to make previously uncommon actions feel acceptable or default

This moves the bar and normalize the thought that BiBi is a criminal/should be arrested. Now this puts pressure on BiBi (also why Israel spends 700+mil this year for PR).

A lot of people also don't know that that warrant is meaningless in the US.

Exactly... As a Dutch person i would even like to highlight that the USA has a plan ready to invade the ICC if any American, or other person they like, will be held there

The US wouldn't be able to pull off that plan. They assumed that all of Europe would back the play, maybe 20 years ago, now every AA weapon in Europe would be aimed at those blackhawks 🤣

I don't think that means all too much. The US will have plans ready for as many situations as they can think of.

They have a planning bureau just drawing these hypothetical situations as their core business.

I am sure they have invasion plans drawn up for just about any theater.

This is not like those hypothetical plans. In 2002, Congress passed The American Service-Members' Protection Act, known as the Hague Invasion Act, which authorizes the president to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court.”

As they should.  The US doesn't recognize outside authority from smaller, weaker nations that have been shown to be corrupted.

Yes, they do. That Nation is called Israel.

The ICC is independent of any nation, it simply enforces the terms of a number of international treaties. No government holds any power over them.
