U.S. SENATOR: STOP ICC BEFORE IT GETS US

US Senator Lindsey Graham expressed outrage over the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Graham said Washington must oppose the move because, if the ICC finds the Israeli officials guilty, it could also target US leaders.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan has also issued arrest warrants for three H*mas officials for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during and since the H*mas-led 7 October attack.

Given the crimes that US leaders have committed against the people of the Global South for centuries—between coups, proxy wars, weapons distribution, military invasions, occupations and economic sanctions—Graham has good reason to worry that US leaders could end up on the ICC’s docket, as it should be if the world had a fair and impartial justice system.
