09:01 30.04.2024 (Updated: 09:03 30.04.2024) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US lawmakers are drafting legislation designed to retaliate against the International Criminal Court should it issue arrest warrants to senior Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza, the US media reported.
The report said that the legislation could include sanctions against certain ICC officials.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly asked President Joe Biden
to intervene to try to block any potential arrest warrants against Israeli officials.
Earlier in the day, the White House said the ICC has no jurisdiction and does not support its investigation.
The US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that the United States does not interfere in the work of the ICC amid concerns over the possibility the ICC may issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials.
