Bipartisan group of US Senators slam ICC

A bipartisan group of senior US senators said they plan to help Israel against the International Criminal Court of Justice.

“We will continue to work in a bipartisan manner to strenuously object to the ICC’s actions against our ally, Israel, and take appropriate steps to help Israel and protect American personnel from future ICC action,” a joint statement said by Republican and Democratic senators said.

The letter was signed by Democratic Senator Ben Cardin, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Jim Risch, the top Republican on the committee.

The letter was also notably signed by Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Jeanne Shaheen who have criticised the conduct of Israel's war on Gaza.
