Christian leaders, politicians react to ICC's arrest warrant for Israel PM Netanyahu
US Evangelical leaders
The Rev. Johnnie Moore, founder of the Congress of Christian Leaders established to unify Christian movements worldwide, issued a statement on X Thursday calling on the U.S. Congress to “take action against the corrupt ICC.”
“This actually has little to do w/ @Netanyahu or Gallant,” wrote Moore, an Evangelical public relations executive who had strong ties to the first Donald Trump administration and was a former commissioner on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
“It is about the profound corruption of our international institutions (some should not exist at all),” he added.
Prominent Christian conservative activist Tony Perkins, a former USCIRF vice chair who is president of the advocacy group Family Research Council, suggested that the ICC's decision is antisemitic.
"Antisemitism? This decision by the ICC to go after Israel’s leader for defending his country should be a death knell for the court," Perkins wrote in an X post.
"Pray for Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the ICC has issued arrest warrants. Also, pray that Bible-believing Christians will stand with Israel and their God-given right to exist."
