Biden administration will work with Congress to respond to ICC

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the Biden administration is willing to work with Congress to respond to the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s call for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.

Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the ICC prosecutors made “a profoundly wrong-headed” decision calling for arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant.

Members of Congress, particularly in the Republican Party, have called on the US to sanction members of the ICC.
