Western countries seem to be divided over the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said that if Netanyahu comes to his country, he will comply with the arrest warrant. This means that Netanyahu can be arrested if he goes to Canada.

Now Donald Trump's very close MP Lindsay Graham has openly threatened Justin Trudeau. He said that if Canada does this, he will destroy Canada's entire economy. Graham has openly threatened not only Canada but also many western countries including Britain and France. Graham has also talked about imposing sanctions.

Britain was also threatened

Senator Lindsay Graham said that the US should destroy the economy of all those countries that follow the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court (ICC). He has warned Justin Trudeau and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He said that if Britain helps in the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu, it will have to face serious economic consequences. Apart from Canada, Britain has openly said that if the Prime Minister of Israel enters Britain, he can be arrested.

will crush the whole economy

Graham said that if Canada, Britain, Germany and France try to help the ICC, we will impose sanctions. You have to choose the evil ICC versus America. I am working with Tom Cotton to get a law passed as soon as possible. This law can impose sanctions on the country that helps in the arrest of any Israeli politician. He said that the economy of the countries doing this should be crushed.

The warrant against Putin was welcomed

In March last year, the ICC had also issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Graham had then welcomed this decision. He had said that the arrest warrant issued against Putin is a big step in the right direction for the international community. It is more justified than the evidence. I hope the international community will hold Putin accountable for the brutal invasion of Ukraine and will continue to support the ICC.
