The Trump administration is using economic warfare to try to shut down the ICC. This is an attack on the rules-based international order motivated by an effort to shield the Netanyahu government from accountability. This attack is unacceptable. It is wrong. tinyurl.com/nyt-trump-icc-sanctions

Three years later, October 7 still shakes us to our core. We lost loved ones. We watched the hostages suffer. We saw our pain twisted to justify an endless war – with unbearable numbers of Palestinians killed.

The United Kingdom’s decision to impose sanctions and a trade ban on settlements is a step in the right direction. The expansion of Israeli settlements is an ugly land grab carried out through violence and terrorism. Any American President serious about achieving peace should do the same.
