The US does not recognize such an argument. If that is the argument being made, then no wonder the US issued sanctions; it would perceive such a precedent as a threat to its sovereignty.

Except Netanyahu and Galland are not US citizens. Therefore why is the US so involved in?

  • Because the US protects Israel pretty much at all costs. For the same reason no one attacks Israel for fear of reprisals from the US.

  • They don't want the precedent established. Same reason why uninvolved parties in US courts submit "amicus briefs" - the precedent from a case may affect them down the line.
