Graham \u2062pledged to \u2064introduce legislation to impose \u2064sanctions on\u200d any nation that aids in the \u2064arrest of\u200b Israeli officials, targeting \u200ballies like Canada, Britain, Germany, and France.<\/p>\n<p>Graham further asserted that if a country \u200cattempted to execute the arrest orders, \u200cthey would <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">face severe economic penalties<\/a>. He criticized \u200cthe \u200dICC&#8217;s jurisdiction over\u200c Israel, arguing that Palestine does not meet the criteria for statehood \u200bunder international law, and pointed out that Israel is not a member of the ICC. Fellow Senator Tom\u200b Cotton\u200b echoed Graham&#8217;s \u2062sentiments, labeling the ICC \u200bas a &#8220;kangaroo court&#8221; and \u200dsuggesting aggressive measures against those attempting\u2062 to enforce the warrants. The ICC&#8217;s ruling stated that\u200d both Netanyahu and \u2062Gallant have criminal responsibility for \u200dwar crimes and\u2064 crimes\u2063 against\u200c humanity in connection to actions\u200c against Palestinian civilians.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sen.

He stated, &#8220;If your nation assists the ICC in enforcing their arrest warrants against Bibi and Gallant, I will impose sanctions on you.&#8221; He emphasized that nations must choose between supporting the &#8220;rogue&#8221; ICC or standing with America.
