TEHRAN - The US House of Representatives on Tuesday started a war against international law by voting in favor of a bill that would sanction the International Criminal Court for seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war minister Yoav Gallant. The Republican-drafted legislation followed after ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan recently announced that he is pursuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to the Israeli war in Gaza. The sanctions include revoking U.S. visas held by ICC officials, blocking their entry into the U.S. and preventing them from property transactions. There is no instance of war crimes and crimes against humanity that Israel has not committed in Gaza since October 7 last year. These corrupt lawmakers have no scruples to target the ICC and launch a war against international law.
