George Clooney called White House to complain about how they portrayed Amal’s ICC work

George Clooney reportedly called one of Joe Biden’s top aides last month to rebuke the administration for its reaction to an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — a case the famed actor’s wife backed.

The call between Clooney and Biden’s officials reportedly occurred last month, according to anonymous sources who spoke to the Washington Post.

They said Clooney called Biden’s counselor, Steve Ricchetti, to push back on Biden’s condemnation of the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. They said the actor was especially upset that Biden called the ICC’s actions “outrageous.”

“The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous,” Mr Biden said following the warrant announcement.

Clooney also expressed concerns that the administration was considering sanctions against the ICC, which would possibly make his wife, Amal, subject to Biden’s retaliation.

The report comes before a fundraiser for Biden set for this weekend where Clooney is scheduled to appear.

Biden-world officials are reportedly worried that he may withdraw from the event — which will also feature an appearance by former President Barack Obama, late night host Jimmy Kimmel, and Julia Roberts — over the administration’s position on the ICC warrant.

Last month, the ICC announced arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, accusing both sides of war crimes during the ongoing conflict.

“I support the historic step that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has taken to bring justice to victims of atrocities in Israel and Palestine,” she said after the warrants were announced.
