US Congress Warns: If ICC Tries Israeli Officials, ‘America Will Be Next’
The speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, said Congress plans to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He warned that, if the ICC prosecutes Israeli officials, “we know that America will be next”.
This came after ICC chief Prosecutor Karim Khan applied for arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Republican Representative Johnson, the most powerful person in the House, blasted the ICC in a press conference on May 23.
“America should punish the ICC and put Karim Khan back in his place”, he insisted.
