Washington and Tel Aviv say they are coordinating retaliatory actions against the ICC, while Palestinian officials called the warrants 'a limited and spiritual step' if not backed by all 124 signatories of the Rome Statute
The White House “fundamentally rejects” the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on 21 November to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant.
“We remain deeply concerned by the Prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision. The United States has been clear that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over this matter. In coordination with partners, including Israel, we are discussing next steps,” a National Security Council spokesperson told reporters.
Hours after the ruling, the State Department canceled its daily press briefing.
US opposition leaders also rebuked the decision, with Senator and Donald Trump-ally Lindsey Graham calling the ICC "a dangerous joke. "It is now time for the US Senate to act and sanction this irresponsible body," Graham stressed.
Similarly, Republican senator Tom Cotton invoked the 2002 American Service-Members’ Protection Act, also known as “The Hague Invasion Act,” which authorizes the use of military force to liberate any US citizen or citizen of a US-allied country arrested in The Hague.
