The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, accusing them of war crimes related to the Israel-Gaza conflict. Senator Lindsey Graham warned U.S. allies against enforcing these warrants, threatening economic sanctions. Graham stated that countries aiding the ICC would face consequences, emphasizing a choice between supporting the ICC or the U.S. He mentioned working on legislation to sanction nations that assist in the arrest of Israeli officials. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed his country's commitment to international law, while President Joe Biden criticized the ICC's actions as "disgraceful." The U.S. and Israel are not ICC members, complicating enforcement of the warrants.
