The International Courts are sitting ducks

Op-ed argues that international courts like the ICC and ICJ are biased against Israel, citing examples of alleged anti-Israel bias in rulings and prosecutions. Author claims these bodies enable terrorism and are being dismantled by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Op-ed by Steve Apfel argues that international courts, particularly the ICC and ICJ, are biased against Israel and serve as enablers of terrorism. The author praises US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's efforts to dismantle the ICC, drawing parallels to Trump's experience with Iran. The piece criticizes UN Secretary-General António Guterres and former ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, accusing them of anti-Israel bias and misconduct. It claims that the ICC's jurisdiction over 'Palestine' is based on a falsehood, as there is no state of Palestine. The author cites Shany Mor's analysis of rhetorical functions behind international law criticisms of Israel. The op-ed concludes that Rubio's threats of sanctions will lead to member withdrawals from the ICC.
