“I think we need to recognize that if Netanyahu is going to be invited, which he is by every angle of our Congress, and he is currently - there are arrest warrants from the ICC, the obligation from the United States government should be to arrest him. This is not going to happen, obviously. This is a major statement of a group screaming about the rules-based international order, or that they claim that they're different because they acknowledge international law - unlike Hamas - and it's completely contradicting all that,” said Cristian of Netanyahu’s possible speech to Congress.
“It’s clear that there was an agreement on this for Israel and the US before it was submitted to Hamas, just like last time,” said Cristian. “We don't know for sure whether this was Israel bluffing and using the US to be the deliverer of that bluff and then just when Hamas accepted and called their bluff, that's when they pulled back because, well, they don't want this war to end. I believe that in every possible sense.”
“Let's understand that even the US government is very fractured as well, right? They're not all on the same page. I think it's very clear that they have aggressive and almost unanimous support for Israel, but they're also fractured when it comes to their own dynamics,” Cristian explained. “But we can prove, as Israel has stated and as the US has stated in many different dynamics - Blinken himself - that this involved Israel. This was directly from Jerusalem [and the main coalition] of Netanyahu's people.”
