He tells Trump he's about to issue his ruling, in which he will again find Trump in contempt of court.

The last thing I want to do is put you in jail, Justice Merchan says to Trump. You are the former President of the United States and possibly the next President as well.

But "going forward," he continues, "this court will have to consider jail sanctions" if necessary.

Israel has broad powers to rescue any hostage according to international law.

"The Convention thus accords a discretion to States in choosing how to respond to -taking, conceivably extending from negotiation at one end of the spectrum to forcible measures of rescue at the other."
