U.S. Decision to Sanction International Crime Court Was Coordinated with Israel
(Ha'aretz) Noa Landau - The U.S. decision to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court was discussed in a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Jerusalem last month, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Netanyahu congratulated the decision to impose sanctions on the "biased International Criminal Court," calling it a "kangaroo court" and a "politicized court obsessed with conducting witch hunts against Israel, the United States and other democracies that respect human rights." Netanyahu accused the court of fabricating "outlandish charges," such as that "Jews living in their historic homeland constitutes a war crime."
