U.S. lawmakers, led by Senator Lindsey Graham and House Speaker Mike Johnson, are vocally opposing the International Criminal Court's (ICC) recent actions against Israel. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant, accusing them of genocide. Graham and Johnson argue that such actions threaten U.S. sovereignty and could lead to similar charges against American officials. Johnson has proposed legislation to sanction the ICC, and he plans to discuss the matter with Netanyahu. The U.S. previously imposed sanctions on the ICC under the Trump administration, and there is a push to reimpose these measures. Representative Byron Donalds and others have criticized the ICC's focus on Israel, given other global conflicts. The GOP is considering various actions to counter the ICC's decisions, including targeting ICC prosecutor Karim Khan and the court in The Hague.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says, "America should punish the ICC and put Karim Khan back in his place" for threatening Israeli leaders with arrest warrants. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/ERPKjgwotW
🇺🇸🇮🇱 "If the ICC is allowed to threaten Israel's leaders, we know that America will be next." First Lindsey Graham said this, now Speaker Johnson. Are they oblivious to the fact that this is a massive self-own? https://t.co/ixmLjD82OE
The ICC’s move to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders is outrageous. I’m proud to cosponsor @RepChipRoy & @RepBrianMast’s bill, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, which sanctions the ICC for attempting to prosecute U.S. citizens or our allies.

ICC has gone rogue & is wrongly targeting our ally Israel in its existential defense mission v. barbaric Hamas terrorists. There's a reason Trump imposed sanctions on ICC & it's time we do so AGAIN.
