Secretary of State Antony Blinken takes his seat for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the State Department's FY2025 budget request, May 21, 2024.America's top diplomat said talks "have come very, very close on a number of occasions" and are not dead. "We remain at it," he told senators Tuesday.
Later, Idaho Sen. James Risch, the top committee Republican, invited Blinken to work with senators on legislation that reports suggest could sanction the ICC."As you say, the devil's in the details, so let's see what you got," he added. Netanyahu on Tuesday called the court prosecutor's plan to apply for arrest warrants "absurd" and said it was casting a "terrible stain" on the court. His country didn't have a "deliberate starvation policy" and the charges detailed by the ICC prosecutor were "fallacious," Netanyahu said Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
