WASHINGTON (WCAX) – Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is applauding a move by the International Criminal Court that calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged war crimes.
“These arrest warrants may or may not be carried out… but it is imperative that the global community uphold international law,” Sanders said in a statement.
President Biden called the effort to arrest Netanyahu “outrageous,” adding “whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas.
During a visit to Israel this week, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, R-New York, criticized the Biden administration’s decision to delay arms shipments for Israel. Speaking at a session dedicated to combatting antisemitism worldwide, Stefanik vowed to help with “crushing antisemitism at home and providing Israel what it needs when it needs it, without conditions.”
