The sanctions imposed by the US President on the International Court of Justice in The Hague are a dramatic and justified step, but that is not the whole story • The President decided to include IDF officers alongside US military fighters in America's diplomatic defense umbrella - demonstrating that his commitment to the Jewish state is absolute

After the threats come the acts: Years of US warnings against the continued investigation by the ICC, President Trump yesterday took unprecedented steps - this time toward the problematic institution in The Hague. 

Trump, like Trump, directly harms court employees who are supposed to be investigating U.S. soldiers who operated in Afghanistan and Iraq. And not only them, but also their possessions on confiscated U.S. land and their families - spouses and children - who can't tread on American soil. 

The American move is baffling. It makes the cases against American soldiers meaningless, because the tribunal cannot investigate the events In addition, and more importantly, the move severely harms the ICC status that has been trying to gain international legitimacy for years, and the stigma "Entry into America" ​​will do its own. Any country that is harmed by the court will now allow itself to fight it , As America did.

The lead prosecutor, Pato Bensuda, spit on America as she insisted on investigations, and America got wet. But now that America is spitting back, the plaintiff is drowning, and with it the institution she runs. 

But that doesn't end. 

Trump sanctioned not only U.S. military personnel but also IDF officers. Yes, court investigators dealing with Israel will not be able to enter the United States and will not be able to hand over their property there, as if they were American soldiers. The 

absolute comparison made by the US president between his soldiers and our soldiers breaks yet another record in his unimaginable attitude to Israel. Trump's utter commitment to Israel and Trump's support for Israel to an unparalleled level. Any American president to follow and express his commitment to the Jewish state will have to make great efforts to reach the rank of 45th US President.
