Over the last few weeks, Israel has told the U.S. that it has information suggesting Palestinian Authority officials are pressing the ICC prosecutor to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, two Israeli officials said.
U.S. and Israeli officials said Israel told the Biden administration that if arrests warrants are issued, it will consider the Palestinian Authority responsible and retaliate with strong action that could lead to its collapse.
One possible action could be to freeze the transfer of tax revenues Israel collects for the Palestinian Authority. Without these funds, the Palestinian Authority would be bankrupt.
Two U.S. officials said Biden told Netanyahu during the call that a report on Channel 12 in Israel that suggested the U.S. might have given a "green light" to the ICC to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders was not true.
Biden stressed during the call the U.S. opposes an ICC investigation against Israel.

Have I gotten this right?
So a global court convicts someone of a crime, and in response the criminal lashes out at the victim?
How messed up is this!
You got it wrong, indeed. The criminals are hèmèss terrorists and supporters. The victims are the Israeli's.
You got brainwashed.

Palestinians are not the victim, they are a side in the war, the losing side.
