Democrats are divided over the ICC's decision to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli and Hamas leaders over alleged war crimes in the Middle East.
Democrats are coming out divided against the International Criminal Court on Monday following a prosecutor's decision to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas’ top leaders, with one lawmaker describing it as 'retribution against Israel for the original sin of existing as a Jewish State.' Rep. Richie Torres, D-N.Y.
'Today’s decision in effect makes it criminal for a state like Israel to defend itself against an enemy shrewd enough to embed itself in a civilian population, as Hamas has done to an extent never seen before in the history of warfare,' he continued.
