Biden on ICJ

The recent International Court of Justice ruling against Israel not only opens the door to potential future Genocide cases but also places President Biden in a defensive position. During his campaign trail, activists frequently interrupt his speeches, calling for a ceasefire. In reality, a significant portion of the Democratic base believes that Biden's alignment with their values and core politics is out of sync. This poses a challenge for Biden, as the ICJ's order essentially demands a ceasefire for its implementation by Israel. Despite Biden's steadfast support for Israel, it seems to be falling short of resonating with the majority of his base due to the significant loss of lives and extensive destruction in Gaza. Navigating this issue requires careful consideration for Biden, as the binding nature of the ICJ ruling carries consequences if he chooses to side with Israel against the court's decision. The potential defiance of the ICJ is an issue that may need to be addressed at another time.
