Republican senators warn ICC prosecutor: Target Israel, and we will target you
Despite warning from world court's top lawyer against meddling, lawmakers led by Tom Cotton threaten sanctions, US visa bans if arrest warrants are issued against Israeli officials

A dozen Republican senators on Monday sent a letter warning International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan not to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials, days after the British lawyer cautioned against efforts to try to sway the court.

“Target Israel, and we will target you,” the senators, led by Sen. Tom Cotton, warned in the letter. “Such actions are illegitimate and lack legal basis, and, if carried out, will result in severe sanctions against you and your institution.”
Sens. Mitch McConnell (minority leader), Rick Scott, Tim Scott, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio also signed the letter, amid increasing concern in Israel that the UN court could issue arrest warrants for senior political and military officials over the nearly-seven-month-old war in Gaza, including against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.

As reports swirled of US and Israeli efforts to dissuade the court from issuing arrest orders, the ICC prosecutor said on Friday that, while the ICC “welcomes open communication” with government officials and non-governmental bodies alike, it will only engage in such dialogue so long as it is “consistent with its mandate under the Rome Statute to act independently and impartially.”

That independence and impartiality are undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate… should the office, in fulfillment of its mandate, make decisions about investigations or cases falling within its jurisdiction,” he added, demanding that “all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials cease immediately.”

Nevertheless, the senators charged in the letter that the ICC “is attempting to punish Israel for taking legitimate actions of self-defense against their Iranian-backed aggressors. In fact, in your own words, you witnessed ‘scenes of calculated cruelty’ conducted by Hamas in Israel following the October 7 attacks.”
Khan visited Israel in December 2023 at the request of families of Hamas hostages. During his visit, he toured some of the communities attacked during the October 7 Hamas onslaught, including Kibbutz Be’eri and Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and heard testimonies from survivors of the massacre.

“These arrest warrants would align the ICC with the largest state sponsor of terrorism and its proxy. To be clear, there is no moral equivalence between Hamas’s terrorism and Israel’s justified response,” the senators wrote.

The war in Gaza erupted after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 252 hostages, mostly civilians, many amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.
Vowing to eliminate the terror group and return the hostages, Israel launched a wide-scale operation in Gaza that has come under international rebuke as the death toll mounts and UN bodies warn of looming famine.

The senators’ letter also noted that the ICC is only allow to charge individuals from countries in which the government is “unwilling or unable to police themselves.”

“You yourself have said that ‘Israel has trained lawyers who advise commanders and a robust system intended to ensure compliance with international humanitarian law.’ By issuing warrants, you would be calling into question the legitimacy of Israel’s laws, legal system, and democratic form of government,” the senators wrote.
If you move forward with the measures indicated in the report, we will move to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States,” the letter stated. “You have been warned.”

In recent weeks, Israel has reportedly told the US that the Palestinian Authority may be pushing the court to issue the arrest warrants and warned that it would retaliate against the PA if they came to be.

Last week, Axios reported that US Congress members from both parties had warned the ICC that Washington would also retaliate against the court, including by passing legislation that would sanction ICC officials, if it issues the potential warrants, amid fears that such a move could sink a hostages-for-truce agreement in the works between Israel and Hamas.

Target Isreal and we will target you.

US Republicans

DNA might likely be the cause

ThiefnubuBandit:
The terrorists wannabe on this forum have gone very quiet since the announcement of the death of Ebrahim Raisa, Iran's former president. A useless bastard idiotic terrorists trying to undermine the Great Israel, our own dear country. I don't want to call out monikers but they terrorists wannabe know themselves.

The blow was too hard for them to bear. US republican senators threaten to ban ICC and it's prosecutors

On Monday, the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan announced that the court is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as multiple leaders of Hamas.

Unsurprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly condemned the seeking of arrest warrants. House Speaker Mike Johnson noted how the ICC has no authority in Israel or the United States, as neither country recognizes it formally.

“In the absence of leadership from the White House, Congress is reviewing all options, including sanctions, to punish the ICC and ensure its leadership faces consequences if they proceed,” Johnson said in a statement. “If the ICC is allowed to threaten Israeli leaders, ours could be next.”

Republicans have been preparing for this for the past month. Last month, Politico reported that Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the most hawkish Republican Senator, led a letter with 11 other Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, warning the ICC about consequences of issuing such warrants.

“Such actions are illegitimate and lack legal basis, and if carried out will result in severe sanctions against you and your institution,” the letter said. Unsurprisingly, Cotton condemned the announcement on Monday.

“Equating Israel’s democratically elected leaders with perpetrators of the worst attack on Jews since World War Two shows what a farce the International Criminal Court is,” he said. “Mr Khan’s kangaroo court has no jurisdiction to pursue these antisemitic and politically motivated ‘charges.’”

In turn, he said that he and his colleagues “look forward to making sure neither Khan, his associates nor their families ever set foot again in the United States.”

On the House side, Representative Chip Roy of Texas and Brian Mast of Florida — who previously wore an IDF military uniform and compared Palestinian civlians to “innocent Nazi civilians” — introduced legislation that would sanction the ICC.

These reactions are not entirely surprising. Republicans have always resisted the idea of an international order — or at least professed that the US should lead such an order, if it does exist, rather than being subject to outside rules.

But the ICC announcement also angered the White House and pro-Israel Democrats. President Joe Biden called the attempt to seek arrest warrants “outrageous“ and said, “There is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas.”

This agreement between the most hard-right Republicans and the Biden administration reveals just how deep the bipartisan conensus on Israel remains. Indeed, Biden’s former friend Senator Lindsey Graham all but accused Khan of lying to his colleagues.

As a result of all this, Republicans might be able to force the hand of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Biden administration.

For most of the 118th Congress, House Republicans brought their internecine feuds. This included their inability to vote for a speaker of the House, followed by their feuds about the debt ceiling and avoiding a government shutdown. The latter ruckus led to them ejecting the speaker, which was followed by three protracted weeks of finding a new person for the position. All the while, Democrats remained surprisingly unified.

That’s changed ever since Republicans — somewhat — got their act together and nominated Mike Johnson. Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023 and the war in Gaza it precipitated has been a unifying force for the GOP.

For context, when Republicans voted to remove Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for what they perceived as antisemitic comments, even Jewish Democrats who disliked her comments about Israel defended her. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida told The Independent back then: “I thought they were offensive and antisemitic at the time,” but that “if we remove people from communities every time we think what they say is offensive, then none of us will end up on committees eventually.”

By comparison, Wasserman Schultz and 21 other Democrats voted to censure Rashida Tlaib, the only other Muslim congresswoman, for her comments about Gaza later that year.

Similarly, when the House held a vote on giving aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, 37 Democrats voted against providing aid to Israel. But just last week, 16 House Democrats voted with Republicans to restrict the Biden administration’s ability to ever withhold aid to Israel.

This likely means that Republicans will take further action against the ICC. It will be merely symbolic, since the bills are extremely unlikely to make their way to the Senate, but they will once again allow for a fissure in the Democratic party, courtesy of Republicans. That puts the attention squarely on Democrats rather than the Republicans’ shambolic conference — which works very well for them.

Tinubu needs FCT votes badly 💯

Double0h7:
I honestly don’t understand the point of doing this. Is she also going to pay his groom price and pay for the wedding?

This is just volunteering to put someone in debt. It’s one of those ideas that look good in your head but are unpractical.

It works for white people because they don’t have village people waiting for their rice and beans. White people can do this and just go down to the registry office and call it a day.

Why e de worry you

Nothing new

Emeskhalifa:
Till date I still wonder what gave Hamas the guts to carry out that attack, even those without military experience knew that was a trap set for them and they fell into it by carrying out that October 7th Massacre.

So tell me, what exactly has the October 7th attack proven? Aside innocent Palestinians women and children paying with their lives.

Omoorrrr if there is one thing I learnt in all this is, never use your emotion to fight your enemy, be tactical and political at approaching your enemies, no be all the time gra gra dey work.
