A group of influential Republican senators has sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan, warning him not to issue international arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, and threatening him with “severe sanctions” if he does so.
In a terse, one-page letter obtained exclusively by Zeteo, and signed by 12 GOP senators, including Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Florida’s Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz of Texas, Khan is informed that any attempt by the ICC to hold Netanyahu and his colleagues to account for their actions in Gaza will be interpreted “not only as a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States.”

To the contrary, they are exactly right.
Are do you support Hamas?
Did Israel sign onto the ICC? I thought it oboy had jurisdiction over the signatories (of which the US is not)
Or
If the ICC caves then it will be seen as a tool of the West rather than an unbiased arbiter.
The US is no longer the rule setter for the World. There is no longer a worldwide consensus on right and wrong. International organizations like the ICC and ICJ should probably be disbanded rather than disgraced.
Another sternly worded letter?
a sternly drafted letter to follow...
Owwwwwwwww. U.s. SINators sent us a ‘warning’ letter. 😂😂😂😂😂.
Only 12 republicans were willing to sign it. Sad
😜😜😜
Send smith over there.
Posturing
There is no longer a worldwide consensus on right and wrong.
But, as far as I know, the US is not threatening the ICC; only a handful of Senators who don’t even have the power to introduce legislation in the Senate.
A strongly worded letter. That always does the trick.
My thought as well.
Thanks to these senators for their letter.
articles like this are written by the same pro-Nazi/commie thugs that are in charge of the UnitedNazis and this fake UN court
notice the phraseology:
“to hold Netanyahu and his colleagues to account for their actions in Gaza”
the only accounting Bibi and colleagues will need to do is to explain
1. why the Arab terrorists were able to murder 1300 innocent people
2. why Bibi and Company didn’t clean out the Gaza infestation the first week
but I’m pretty sure these are not the actions that the article author had in mind
There are reports that the Biden admin is also applying pressure behind the scenes, not just a few bought and paid for congresscritters.
Well, the ICC is a Globalist HomoPedoTrannyMarxist, New World Order, World Government Craphole Shill Central.
I prefer all Law affecting the United States to be created by the Constitutional Representative Republic of The United States Of America's Legislative Processes..
Screw them furriners, no matter what they call themselves.
Really? “ only a handful of Senators who don’t even have the power to introduce legislation in the Senate.”
You are saying none of those Senators can introduce legislation to the Senate?
