Maybe Biden can invite him to come talk in the states like he did with his good friend Netanyahu.
I'm curious how this makes sense to you.
Both have ICC warrants out for them for crimes against humanity. Only one spoke to congress, why not invite the other?
I didn't think Bibi actually had a warrant. I know they filled for one but I never saw it was issued. I can't find anything saying that it was issued or when.
Here's one form a month ago asking whether they would issue a warrant or not.
You are correct. The ICC warrant for Netanyahu needs yet to be approved by an ICC judge. For now it's only a warrant request.
US has a history of not caring what the ICC thinks though. Remember the Hague Invasion Act?
I assume that is their point.
