Palestine could 'lose millions in US aid' if they sue Israel in ICC, senator warns Senator Lindsey Graham said existing US legislation 'would cut off aid to the Palestinians if they filed a complaint' Palestine could have millions of dollars of crucial American aid withdrawn if they attempt to use their newly-acquired membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC) to sue Israel for alleged atrocities carried out during the last conflict, a Republican senator has warned. Senator Lindsey Graham said existing US legislation “would cut off aid to the Palestinians if they filed a complaint.” The US has already hinted that using the ICC to pursue Israel would hinder the aspirations of Palestinian people for statehood. Its follows more than 40 rejections for the Palestinians' bid for self-determination made since 1975. "We will push back strongly to register our displeasure. It is already part of our law that would require us to stop funding if they actually bring a case," said Mr Graham, of South Carolina. Any cut in US funds would place immense strain. The US supplies more than $400 million (£265 million) annually to the Palestinian Authority, while Israel has recently frozen a monthly transfer of some $120 million (£75m) in tax revenues it collects for the Palestinians. Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour has previously said it was seeking to raise alleged “crimes” committed by Israel, including during last summer's war in Gaza. He has said Palestine would seek justice for Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory adding that it constitutes "a war crime" under the Rome statute. Mr Graham urged the Palestinians to re-evaluate ICC membership, saying he supported their aspirations for statehood but opposed joining the court as a "provocative step" against Israel.
