You Threatened ICC When They Issued Arrest Warrant On Him, Now You’re Telling Court To Leave Him – FFK
Â
Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), has taken a direct swipe at former U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing him of hypocrisy over his stance on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs ongoing criminal trial.
In a fiery post on X (formerly Twitter) shared on Wednesday, June 26, FFK blasted Trump for allegedly attempting to influence judicial proceedings in Israel, where Netanyahu faces serious charges including bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
According to NewsVista reports, Fani-Kayode was responding to a recent Truth Social post where Trump reportedly pleaded with Israeli courts to show leniency toward Netanyahu â his long-time political ally.
But FFK wasnât having it.
âI thought Israel had the fairest legal system in the world â and now you seek to subvert it because Bibi stands accused? Is he above the law?â Fani-Kayode wrote.
He didnât stop there. In a sharp rebuke, the Nigerian politician recalled Trumpâs past threats against the International Criminal Court (ICC) when it issued an arrest warrant linked to Israeli actions, presumably referring to war crimes allegations.
âYou threatened the ICC when they issued an arrest warrant for him, and now you are telling the Israeli courts to leave him alone too?â he added.
Netanyahuâs Trial: A Global Spotlight
Netanyahu has been standing trial since 2020, facing charges that could shape not only his political future but the entire landscape of Israeli governance. The case has sparked deep divisions in Israeli society and raised global questions about political power, accountability, and judicial independence.
Trump, known for his unwavering support of Israel during his presidency, has consistently defended Netanyahu. But critics, like Fani-Kayode, say this latest plea amounts to meddling in another countryâs legal process.
âSelective Justiceâ and Global Power Plays
Fani-Kayodeâs comments echo a growing international concern: Are global powers applying justice only when it suits their allies?
Analysts say the former Nigerian minister’s remarks tap into wider frustrations about double standards in international law, especially when powerful nations shield their own or friendly leaders from accountability.
âWe know Israel is above the law, but is their PM above the law too?â FFK asked pointedly.
The Bigger Picture
As Netanyahu continues to appear before Israeli courts, pressure is mounting both locally and globally. The outcome of his trial could reshape Israel’s future â and the tone of how global leaders respond to justice across borders.
With Fani-Kayodeâs voice now added to the debate, one thing is clear: Calls for fairness in international justice arenât going away â and neither is the scrutiny of how world leaders respond when their friends are in the dock.
