Sen. Graham Warns: US Will 'Crush' Economies of Those Helping ICC

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Saturday, 23 November 2024 03:06 PM EST


Sen. Lindsey Graham is warning that the United States will "crush" the economies of any of its allies that attempt to enforce the International Criminal Court's warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant.

"If you are going to help the ICC as a nation and force the arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant, the former defense minister, I will put sanctions on you as a nation," the South Carolina Republican told Fox News's Sean Hannity Friday. "You're going to have to pick the rogue ICC versus America."

The ICC's warrants accuse Netanyahu and Gallant of committing the war crime of starvation, as well as crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts against Hamas after the Iranian-backed group's terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023.

Graham warned that any other country enforcing the warrant, including close U.S. ally Canada, will face repercussions.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would enforce the ICC warrant should Netanyahu visit.

"We stand for international law, and we will abide by all the regulations and rulings of the international courts,” Trudeau said, reports CTV. "This is just who we are as Canadians."

Graham pointed out that the United States is not a member of the ICC because in 2002 it threatened to prosecute U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

"We came down hard on them, and in 2017, one of the first things that President Trump did was put sanctions against the International Criminal Court to make sure they would protect our own troops," said Graham.

However, he noted that President Joe Biden "did away" with the sanctions during his first month in the White House.

"Now what do you have?" Graham said. "You have the International Criminal Court coming after the prime minister of Israel and the defense minister of Israel for trying to defend the Jewish state. If you help the ICC, we're going to crush your economy."
