The International Criminal Court’s decision Monday to apply for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant caused critics of the decision to highlight the people who have not been indicted by the ICC.
“We rightfully sanctioned the #ICC in the last Admin. It is a sham court. They’ve always wanted to go after democratic nations that uphold the Rule of Law – US and Israel. Yet they turn a blind eye to the crimes of Xi, Assad, the Ayatollah, Un, and Maduro,” former Trump State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said on X, referring to how the Trump administration took a hard line against ICC investigators.
All of the leaders listed by Ortagus – Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro – have been accused of egregious human rights violations.
