What was said
"the language that uh rub the state department has used in its messaging has been about this perceived threat to American personnel and allies, right? So we could think of the arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Galant."
Kinsler says the State Department’s public rationale for targeting the ICC centres on an asserted threat to US personnel and allied figures. She links this framing to the ICC’s warrants for Israeli leaders, while noting US opposition to the court predates the current episode.
