Lindsey Graham Threatens Sanctions Over ICC Warrants

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has threatened sanctions against allied nations such as Canada, Britain, Germany, and France if they enforce International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants against Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, issued over alleged war crimes in Gaza. The warrants come amid significant casualties in Gaza, where over 44,000 Palestinians have died since the onset of the conflict. Graham's remarks highlight a broader bipartisan backlash against the ICC, with several U.S. politicians condemning the court's jurisdiction and warning of punitive measures against nations that support the arrest warrants. Critics argue that the U.S. is complicit in Israeli actions and that the ICC's decisions reflect a growing discontent with American foreign policy in the Middle East. The ongoing conflict has drawn international scrutiny, with calls for a two-state solution gaining traction among some commentators. As tensions rise, the future of U.S. relations with its allies and the ICC remains uncertain.
