The ramifications of the International Criminal Court's bid to arrest Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are enormous, says Gideon Rachman for the Financial Times.
Gantz, who has not been indicted, has joined in the generalised Israeli condemnation of the ICC. But many Israelis will be dismayed at the fact that their country is turning into a pariah state. Getting rid of Netanyahu and appointing a new prime minister may become a more attractive option over time, as Israel seeks to rebuild its international status.
The Israelis now know that the path back to international acceptance must involve a new peace process - and the marginalisation of Netanyahu. John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser and a lawyer by training, has demanded that the US should now impose sanctions on the ICC and its judges. That demand is likely to be taken up in Congress and by the Trump campaign.Commentary: A wider war in the Middle East is a risky and self-serving bet for Israel
As a result, the US president has every incentive to equivocate, while hoping that Congress does not present him with a Bill demanding sanctions against the ICC - which he might have to veto.
