Why is Donald Trump so desperate to prevent the arrest of Benjamin Mileikowsky (aka Netanyahu) and hauled before the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face war crimes charges? One plausible explanation could be Jeffrey Epstein, the Israeli Mossad agent whose task was to ensnare western politicians in sex scandals for blackmail purposes.
Given Trump’s numerous affairs with underage girls supplied by Epstein and his female accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell—another Mossad asset—and the dossier on him in Mossad possession, it is not unreasonable to assume that he is being blackmailed. The zionists are masters at such activities.
In order to derail investigations into Netanyahu’s war crimes, Trump has launched a crusade against judges and prosecutors at the ICC. He has imposed sanctions on nine court officials—six judges and the chief prosecutor, Barrister Karim Khan. They have also been barred from entry into the US.
Trump has demanded that they drop the charges against Netanyahu and the former Israeli war minister Yoav Gallant. Also included in ICC investigations are US officials for war crimes in Afghanistan.
As a consequence of Trump’s sanctions—quite illegal, one must add—judges and prosecutors have been cut off by banks, credit card companies and tech giants like Amazon. These have caused great difficulties for the nine sanctioned court officials, but they have remained undeterred in their quest to fulfill their legal responsibilities.
While Trump’s crusade against the ICC proceeds at full-speed, zionist Israel suffered a blow when the Court’s appeals chamber rejected one of Tel Aviv’s legal challenges seeking to block the investigation. In their December 15 ruling, the judges refused to overturn a lower court decision allowing the ICC prosecutor to investigate Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
Trump is not alone in such scandalously threatening behaviour. The former British foreign secretary and former prime minister David Cameron was also involved in exerting pressure on Khan to not issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
A number of media outlets including The Guardian, the Times of Israel and the Middle East Eye have reported on how Cameron tried to exert pressure on Khan. All of them reported that the former British minister threatened in April 2024 to defund the ICC if Khan went ahead with the charges. He also warned that Britain would withdraw from the Rome Statute, the founding document establishing the ICC.
Displaying absolute hypocrisy, Cameron said it was right to charge President Vladimir Putin with war crimes for Russia’s attack on Ukraine but Israel’s case was different. It was “defending” itself.
According to the Middle East Eye, “Cameron said it was one thing to investigate and prosecute Russia for a ‘war of aggression’ on Ukraine, but quite another to prosecute Israel when it was ‘defending itself from the attacks of 7 October [2023]’.”
The stench of hypocrisy in the former British minister’s statement is too strong to ignore. He knows, or should know that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian lands. International law gives no right to the occupier to defend itself. Instead, that right rests with the occupied—the Palestinians—to defend themselves “by whatever means necessary” against zionist aggression and barbarism.
Cameron’s threatening phone call to Khan did not go unnoticed. In June 2025, former Scottish first minister Humza Yousaf told MEE that “the UK parliament’s foreign affairs committee should investigate what happened during the phone call.” Yousaf was then Scottish first minister while Cameron was British foreign secretary.
The MEE quoted him as saying: “Lord Cameron has to be held to account. We are talking about a matter of the utmost seriousness here. We need to know whether a serving British foreign secretary at the time threatened to defund the International Criminal Court.”
The independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, a former Labour Party leader, echoed Yousaf’s call. He called for the British government to investigate what occurred in the phone call between Cameron and Khan. “I think we need to know, and we have a right to know as well,” Corbyn told MEE.
In his submission to the court, Karim Khan reported that US Senator Lindsey Graham had also thretened him with sanctions if he went ahead with the arrest warrants. This was in May 2024. As subsequent events have shown, the court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant on November 24, 2024. Also included were three Hamas leaders, all of them martyred by the zionist war criminals.
In July 2025, the Qatari regime-owned TV channel Al Jazeera quoting MEE website reported that the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, was warned that he and the ICC would be “destroyed” if the warrants were not withdrawn.
A British-Israeli defence lawyer at the court, Nicholas Kaufman, linked to a Netanyahu adviser, conveyed Israel’s threat to Khan. He said the Israeli leader’s legal adviser told him he was “authorised” to make Khan a proposal that would allow the prosecutor to “climb down the tree”, the news website reported.
There is little prospect of Netanyahu and Gallant being hauled before the ICC. That fate is reserved for leaders of third world countries. The extraordinary lengths to which western officials have gone to protect the zionist war criminals, however, reflects another reality.
Western officials have perpetrated similar genocides during the colonization of Asia and Africa. What zionist Israel is doing today is no different than the west’s genocidal acts of 100 or so years ago.
At the root lies their deep racism. They view non-western, non-white people as inferior and their lives not worth much, especially when there are resources and land to be grabbed.
