Netanyahu needs to stand in front of the ICC and defend the actions he called for and justified as ānecessary for the survival of Israelā. We should remember this is the same guy who described reports of famine in Gaza as "fake" and "malignant lies" despite what we all saw and heard.

Hey JD Vance! It is factually incorrect to call Kirkās murder a āpolitical assassinationā. Political: āof or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of governmentā Assassination: āmurder by sudden or secret attack often for political reasonsā No one knows the shooterās motives.
