US lawmakers said threatening ICC over Israel arrest warrants; speaker: Move would be ‘lawless'

[IsraelTimes] US Congress members from both parties have warned the International Criminal Court that Washington will retaliate against the court if it issues arrest warrants against top Israeli officials, Axios reports.

The report says legislation on the matter is already being worked on, citing House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, as expecting a bill to sanction ICC officials but adding: "We hope it doesn’t come to that."

Meanwhile, US House Speaker Mike Johnson

…who has made the whole Israel/Hamas/antisemitism protests one of his major causes…

slams the reported intention to issue arrest warrants over the Gaza war.

"It is disgraceful that the International Criminal Court is reportedly planning to issue baseless and illegitimate arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials," Johnson says in a statement.

"Such a lawless action by the ICC would directly undermine US national security interests. 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," Johnson adds.
It's the same kind that riot on your campuses - just grown up.

#1 It is interesting that there seems to be no impeding ICC action against Hamas and/or the state sponsors of Hamas.

"International Law" is biased against Israel and the West in general.

Even when fundamental Western interests that are nominally protected are violated "International Law" will not hold the actors accountable.

"International Law" is in essence the collective will of the enemies of Western Civilization.

#3 At this juncture in History, current events even somebody had the cast iron, brass plated balls to actually give tongue to the word 'lawless'?
