Guess How Many Republican Seats Democrats Flipped in Recent Elections?

Republicans and Democrats alike have long attacked the court over its investigation into Israel’s conduct in Gaza, and those efforts only intensified after the court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif last year.

In March 2020, ICC prosecutors opened an investigation in Afghanistan that focused on possible crimes committed by the U.S. military. In 2021, the court deprioritized the investigation, but never closed it, and apparently the Trump administration is worried.

“There is growing concern … that in 2029 the ICC will turn its attention to the president, the vice president, the secretary of war and others, and bring cases against them,” an anonymous White House official told Reuters. “This is unacceptable and we will not allow this to happen.”
