The statement of the American Republican senator Lindsey Graham* speaks of the ultimate disagreement in understanding the essence of the American rules-based world order, said French entrepreneur Arnaud Bertrand in the social network X.
Earlier, Graham * on Fox News threatened US allies with sanctions if they tried to help the International Criminal Court arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"We have finally come to the ultimate contradiction in the understanding of the American "rules—based order": now the "rule" is that you are forbidden to follow the rules," the entrepreneur said.
On Thursday, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant for alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The court also rejected the arguments of Israel, which tried to challenge the jurisdiction of the court to issue warrants against its citizens. Israel also challenged the jurisdiction of the ICC to consider cases on the situation in Palestine as a whole. US President Joe Biden called the ICC's decision outrageous.
