Legal Group Calls For Criminal Investigation Of Clooneys

An Israeli NGO, Shurat HaDin, is urging U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Amal Clooney for her involvement with the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant in relation to the Gaza conflict.

The group claims that Clooney, who participated in the ICC’s advisory forum, violated the American Servicemembers’ Protection Act by engaging in investigative actions against Israeli officials while on U.S. soil.

They argue that U.S. law prohibits ICC agents from operating in the country in such a manner.

If found guilty, Clooney could face felony charges.

“The American law is extremely clear: No agent of the ICC can operate or assist in ICC investigative actions against Americans or their allies while residing in the U.S.,” Shurat HaDin President Nitsana Darshan-Leitner stated.

“As President Biden stated, it is outrageous that this biased court in The Hague would attempt to prosecute Israeli officials as they battle the Hamas murderers, rapists and terror gangs in Gaza,” Darshan-Leitner said.

“If Amal Clooney participated in the ICC panel investigating Prime Minister Netanyahu while residing in the US then she is the one that needs to be prosecuted. She seems to be passionate about international law but pretty contemptuous of American regulations.”

“George Clooney’s efforts to intervene and interfere with White House policy on behalf of his wife while raising funds for Biden’s campaign is troubling and suspicious,” she added.

The organization criticized her for allegedly attempting to incriminate Israeli leaders and raised concerns about her husband George Clooney’s involvement in political fundraising for the Biden campaign, suggesting potential conflicts of interest.
