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.
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.
