Israel lobbies foreign powers to cut ICC funding

Israel, which like the United States does not belong to the ICC, hopes to dent funding for the court that is drawn from the 122 member-states in accordance with the size of their economies, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Sunday.

„We will demand of our friends in Canada, in Australia and in Germany simply to stop funding it,“ he told Israel Radio.
