The Axios news site reported Monday that US legislation on the reported warrants was already being worked on, citing House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, as expecting a bill to sanction ICC officials.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/93f571c1.png
We hope it doesnt come to that, McCaul was quoted as saying.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed as disgraceful the ICCs reported intention of issuing baseless and illegitimate arrest warrants for alleged war crimes against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.
Such a lawless action by the ICC would directly undermine US national security interests, Johnson said Monday. If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel, thereby endangering our countrys sovereign authority.
Rep. Ritchie Torres, a staunchly pro-Israel Democrat, also criticized the potential warrants, calling for strong consequences from both Congress and the President, according to the Axios report.
The ICC is a treaty-based criminal court focusing on individual criminal responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
US President Joe Biden has welcomed the International Criminal Court's issuing of an arrest warrant against his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
The ICC accused President Putin of committing war crimes in Ukraine - something President Biden said the Russian leader had "clearly" done.
Notice how it took 6 months to get aid to Ukraine...but all of this Israel stuff happens asap.That's because both sides are on this one, so it makes sense why. It's sickening how fast we can move and then drag our feet for other things.
By the same people too.

The American Hague Invasion Act allows the President to invade and rescue Americans, or allied, from the ICC.
Just Saiyan.
Is Biden gonna address this?
I'm not sure what you mean by this, his admin would be the one enacting and enforcing the sanctions. They would likely support it.
Is Biden gonna address this?Well he did say the law must be upheld.
The Israeli government warned the Biden administration that if the International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, it will take retaliatory steps against the Palestinian Authority that could lead to its collapse, two Israeli and U.S. officials said.
Well he did say the law must be upheld.He never said which law.
But that was in response to student protests. Not sure if he feels the same about international humanitarian law.
So is this related to the other topic?Exactly what China does if you arrest one of theres they arrest 2 or more of yours smh Israel
Problem is the ICC caving to this pathetic tantrum would kill its credibility.The ICC and it's ad hoc predecessors already killed their credibility by softballing war criminals. International justice is a fucking joke.
The Israeli and American governments should be ashamed of themselves. Vote their asses all the way out.
Is Biden gonna address this?Its not even going to get out of the House.
