The International Criminal Court on Friday expressed its rejection of "threats" as it mulls possible arrest warrants for Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, other senior Israel i officials, as well as Hamas officials.The ICC 's Office of the Prosecutor said in a statement it "seeks to engage constructively with all stakeholders whenever such dialogue is consistent with its mandate under the Rome Statute to act independently and impartially.
According to Axios, the Israeli government warned the Biden administration that if the ICC pursued the arrest warrants, Israel would retaliate and collapse the Palestinian Authority. On Thursday, senators from both parties met with ICC officials to persuade them about issuing arrest warrants. The Biden administration has joined the effort, as well.
