🇺🇸 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 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.

Empty threat

Nonsense including the ICC... useless organisation that can't declare buhari/tinubu, Ganduje, sirika, malami, all our former EFCC chair-criminals, etc


This ICC is not useful to an average Nigerian... rubbish

thesicilian:

The only way some of you can make "meaningful" contributions to conversations about international events is to stylishly turn it into news about Tinubu, APC, LP, Obi and other non related Nigerian news. Shame.

Only a supporter of a criminal Chicago bound heroine trafficker will have problem with my comment.

Why are you rattled??

I'm proud to be a lifelong Zionist

"I stand with Israel for life, proudly and unwaveringly"

But US and EU conspired with ICC they issued arrest warrant on Putin.
Is is ICC created for US enemies only?

Wazobia News

Nonsense..
As long as the US is with Israel.no shaking

They don't know
🤣🤣

Why is US always carrying Israel Matter for head

This is getting serious.

ICC better melow down to avoid serious world crisis.

Hypocrites

The US keeps showing the world everyday what a big bully they are, they are empty vessels who keep using the so called "independent" international bodies like ICC, WHO to bully other countries into submission to their selfish American interests. And I won't be surprised if the ICC backs down after these threats.

Where is the ICC as the Nigerian state has unlawfully imprisoned MNK?

So no retaliation for extra judicial killings in Nigeria, no retaliation for secterian and islamic extremist jihad killins in Nigeria, no retaliation for the millions that have been chased out of their lands in the north central, no retaliation for the dark skinned Africans that are murdered daily in North african and Arab countries but na for this matter una decide to wake up?

This is why I laugh when Africans say Americans are our allies, America is easily the WORSE enemy to our continent. Turned a blind eye to numerous genocides from the Congo conflict of the 50's to the Biafran war to the Sudanese war to Liberian and Sierra Leone conflicts and now back to the Congo, interestingly notice how they swooped into Libya like the vultures that they are to destroy and grab the assets of that country.

America is so quick to tell their african american population calling for reparations that "The country has no money", despite the African americans calling for a very little amount, now do i agree with the calls for reparations? Not necessarily but it would interest you to know that America actually gave billions to Japan and Germany (Their so called enemies) immediately after WW2 to rebuild their countries (look up the Marshall plan), but till this day none has been given to the African continent or the descendants of the enslaved African American population.

The excuse is that "The country is broke" yet that same broke country has approved almost 500 billion usd for the war in Ukraine, a war which even a blind man would tell you is a lost cause.

Kudos to Niger for kicking these scum out of their country and Oh, Death to terrorists. Go on Israel, do your thing.

U

Where's that foolish Righteousness guy.

See d America you love to hate, fighting for Israel you beloved country.

If not for America, Israel will be a desert land by now

ICC NA lap dog of the US , nothing de par. they just de whine us

nairavsdollars:

You think US is your sh!t hole

It is glaring now who the terrorists of this world are

Can you imagine..

These are the same people threatening to arrest Putin because the ICC issued a warrant against him.

Now that the ICC is about to issue a warrant against Nethanyahu for the genocide he's committing in Palestine, they're threatening to attack the court.

Democracy indeed

when ICC cannot arrest anyone in russia

syria is there ICC has not arrested anyone there

WriterNig:
This is the same hypocrites that some of you here are supporting. Smh

This same US was trying to force the ICC to arrest President Putin even though the civilian casualties in Ukraine for 2 years is not even up to a quarter of the number of Palestinians killed by Israel.

Israel has killed over 35,000 Palestinian citizens, 12,000 of them are children.

While in the 2 years war in Ukraine, 558 civilians have died.

Lai Lai Mohammed.

558 civilians or cartoons? Una go open mouth waaa!!
