Israel Threatens Retaliation Against Palestinian Authority Over Potential ICC Arrest Warrants
Israel has warned the Biden administration that if the International Criminal Court (ICC) issues arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, it will take retaliatory steps against the Palestinian Authority that could lead to its collapse.Israeli officials are increasingly concerned that the ICC may issue warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and the Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The US has been quietly encouraging the ICC not to issue the warrants, as it believes it would "blow up everything" and prompt Israel to retaliate against the Palestinian Authority.
