Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told on Tuesday Fox News that he was not besides disturbed by the arrest warrant issued by the global Criminal Court (ICT) due to the fact that Israeli peculiar forces will defend him if any country tries to halt him..
"It scares me in that sense. For you, traveling abroad, God forbid you have an emergency medical emergency, you gotta land and you're about to land in a country that recognizes the ICC. It could complicate things. Are you worried about that?" Commentator Fox News and a long-standing individual friend of Netanyahu, Sean Hannity, asked during the interview.
"Yes, I think about it," He answered Netanjahu. "You know, we have peculiar forces here.. I served for 5 years."
"IDF is rather tough," said Hannity, referring to the Israeli army. "Yes. Let's give them a fresh assignment." – replied Netanyahu.
Netanjahu flew through the airspace of respective ICC associate States on his way to Washington this week, which prompted critics for prosecution These governments to support an internationally sought after leader.
Netanyahu left Israel aboard an authoritative government aircraft known as the "Sion Wing" on Monday, before talking to US president Donald Trump at the White home on Tuesday. Flight data showed that the aircraft It flew through the airspace of Greece, Italy and France before crossing the Atlantic, and the widely available travel map indicated that the aircraft besides entered Canada's airspace during its approach to the US.
Greece, Italy, France and Canada are Parties to the Rome Statute, the treaty which the ICC established.
The Hague court issued an arrest warrant for Netanjahu on November 21, 2024, stating that they existed reasonable groundsto believe that he was held liable for the war crimes of famine as a method of conducting war and for crimes against humanity specified as murder, persecution and another inhuman acts in Gaza. "This is corruption of the global system. It's an uncharted bureaucracy sitting in The Hague. She could arrest American soldiers due to the fact that you do not recognise this corrupt body more than we do," Netanyahu Hannity said.
"And they may say the president of the United States is simply a war criminal. That American soldiers bravely fight alongside us, side by side against tyranny in Tehran, that they are war criminals. They can choice them up."
The Prime Minister said in September he would come to fresh York for the UN General Assembly, no substance what legal avenues, if any, Mayor Zohran Mamdani decides I'll take it.
"This elected hater authoritative [to] places 1 group of fresh Yorkers against others. He's turning them against fresh York Jews. due to the fact that who are we, in the 1930s? What is it?" said Netanyahu.
Mamdani repeatedly reiterated that he would defend the rights of all judaic fresh Yorkers, but Israel accused him of anti-Semitism for calling the national government to arrest Netanyahu under an ICC order.
"Mur granite"
Netanyahu spent with Trump just under 90 minutes at the White home on Tuesday, before both leaders went to the National Cathedral in Washington for the ceremony of a Republican Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, a staunch and loud supporter of Israel, as well as possibly the loudest Trump supporter.
The Israeli Prime Minister told Hannity that a visit with Trump was "one of the best meetings we've always had," But on Tuesday, he besides suggested to the Israeli press that it was a gathering of respective high-ranking officials, which means he did not have a private one-on-one conversation with the president.
Such a decision would propose that Trump advisors did not want Netanjah to someway influence the president. "I always hatred to disappoint ours potential critics who are trying to find cracks in our alliance, and what they find, like today, is simply a granite wall" – said Netanjahu Hannitymu.
Trump himself sounds unsatisfied with Netanjahu's fresh behavior, saying earlier on Tuesday in Fox News that Netanyahu wants him to proceed his attacks on Iran, although he may no longer feel like it.
"We have a common commitment. We do not want this fanatical government in Tehran to have atomic weapons to endanger all American, endanger planet peace and Israel's existence," Netanyahu said. "We have a common goal that will be achieved either by diplomatic means or by another means. But we're both determined."
However, Netanyahu made it clear that he was not a supporter of these diplomatic measures.
Not long after signing Memorandum of Understanding by the U.S. and Iran in June, Israel intensified its attacks on confederate Lebanon, to the capital city of Beirut.
A key component of the agreement was the cessation of Israel's war effort in Lebanon, where he claims to be attacking his Iranian ally, Hezbollah. Trump then told journalists that he felt Israel's attacks were disproportionate and killed besides many civilians. "Do you think they are moderate, who would like an agreement and a better Iran?" asked Hanna. "I'm skeptical of this deal and I say it openly," said Netanyahu.
"But the only way to do that would be to realize these different factions. These are not ideological factions, which disagree in the assessment of our hardness," he added. "I think at the end is our determination. Our common resolve is to guarantee that Iran does not receive atomic bombs that any American could threaten."
The American intelligence community for Trump's administration assessed that there was no direct threat from Iran before the US and Israel started a common war February 28 – to the degree that the manager of the National Anti-Terrorist Center, Joe Kent, resigned within hours of the launch of the first rockets.
