The White House and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) have come out against reports that the International Criminal Court is considering issuing arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, a rare moment of unity between both sides.
Johnson called on President Joe Biden to compel the ICC to stand down from reported plans to issue a warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pressing the president to use “every available tool to prevent such an abomination.”
“Such a lawless action by the ICC would directly undermine U.S. national security interests,” Johnson said in a statement on Monday. “If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel, thereby endangering our country's sovereign authority.”
What happened to "No one is above the law? ........Biden's elastic Democracy at its best.
