Sen. Lindsey Graham gave a stark warning to foreign nations Friday after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Graham was interviewing with Fox News host Sean Hannity, who asked the South Carolina senator about the ICC’s move to call for the arrests of Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday.
“If you are going to help the ICC as a nation and force their arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant, the former defense minister, I will put sanctions on you as a nation,” Graham said in the interview.
“You’re going to have to pick the rogue ICC versus America. I’m working with [Senator] Tom Cotton to have legislation passed as soon as we can to sanction any country that aids and abets the arrest of any politician in Israel.
“So, to any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we’re going to sanction you,” Graham said.
Hannity pressed Graham further as to what the penalty should be if a nation tried to follow the arrest orders.
“We should crush your economy,” Graham said.
The ICC ruled that Netanyahu and Gallant “each bear criminal responsibility for the following crimes as co-perpetrators for committing the acts jointly with others: the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts,” the ICC said in a news release.
“The Chamber also found reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant each bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”
Israel tried to prevent the arrest warrants, arguing that the ICC had no jurisdiction over Israel. But the court said it could issue them as part of the “territorial jurisdication of Palestine,” Fox News reported.
Graham contested this point in particular in his interview with Hannity.
“Now let me say this: The court ruled that Gaza is a “state.” No, there is no Palestinian state under international law. So, that’s the first thing they got wrong. And Israel is not a member of the International Criminal Court, nor are we.”
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton has been vocal against the arrest warrants as well.
On X, Cotton called out ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, calling him “deranged,” while seemingly implying that the U.S. could invade The Hague, Netherlands, where the ICC is headquartered.
The ICC is a kangaroo court and Karim Khan is a deranged fanatic. Woe to him and anyone who tries to enforce these outlaw warrants. Let me give them all a friendly reminder: the American law on the ICC is known as The Hague Invasion Act for a reason. Think about it.

If Graham handles this like he does everything else these countries have no worries at all. Closetman should just shut up!

We all better watch whom are the one worlder new age thinkers running for political offices these days. They will sell us all out and give our sovereignty away without batting an eye to shit heads like Karim Kahn at the ICC. Our phony pres Joe Bidiot plannrd only this last year to fork over our medical sovereignty to the WHO. He probably already did it and we won’t know until the next pandemic.
I DONT LIKE THREATENING COUNTRIES….I WOULD RATHER MAKE A DEAL….BUT THEY NEED TO KNOW WE ARENT LOLLY GAGGERS….GLAD THE JELLY BEANS ARE NO LONGER IN POWER…
I don’t think that I overheard Trump say anything about any special position for Graham.
So the ICC wants to prosecute Bibi and Gallant for defending Israel against foreign agressors, but they see nothing wrong with the terrorists in Hamas and Hezbollah and their wholesale slaughtering of innocent people on Oct. 7th? Sounds to me like this ICC is a bunch of prejudice leftwing Commies.
