The International Criminal Court is being warned by members of Congress in both parties that arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials will be met with U.S. retaliation — and legislation to that effect is already in the works, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gone so far as to urge President Biden to intervene to help prevent the warrants, Axios' Barak Ravid

  • The ICC has been investigating allegations of war crimes against both the Israeli military and Palestinian militia groups dating back to 2014.

  • The White House declined to comment on Netanyahu's call with Biden but said "the ICC has no jurisdiction in this situation and we do not support its investigation."

There is a long tradition in the US to let perpetrators of war crimes just off. And in turn punish those who bring war crimes to the attention of the public, like Julian Assange did.

A reminder that the US is not a member of the ICC and does not recognize its authority.
