In a recent development that has sparked widespread debate, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham took to Twitter to express his disapproval of the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) approach towards Israel.
His tweet, which quickly garnered attention, stated: “Israel is not Russia. The Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Israel are not Hamas. But according to the ICC, they’re all the same. That’s despicable.”
Senator Graham’s tweet reflects a broader sentiment shared by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators who have condemned the ICC’s decision to apply for arrest warrants for democratically-elected Israeli officials. The senators argue that this action jeopardizes efforts to bring sustainable peace to the Middle East and risks sensitive negotiations, including those aimed at bringing home hostages and surging humanitarian assistance.
The group emphasizes that the ICC’s actions draw a false equivalence between Israel, with its longstanding commitment to the rule of law, and Hamas, which they describe as a theocratic, autocratic, and unaccountable rule over Gaza.
