On Monday, the man who’s poised to become Germany’s next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said he hoped to soon welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Germany — despite an arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court. His offer came as the U.S.-based organization DAWN — Democracy for the Arab World Now — formally asked the ICC to investigate former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and former President Joe Biden for possible complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity. The request cites the $17.9 billion worth of U.S. weapons transfers to Israel under the Biden administration. We’ll have more on the ICC complaint later in the broadcast with Reed Brody, DAWN board member and veteran war crimes lawyer.
