The reaction from the White House was not long in coming. It is “outrageous” that the prosecutor has submitted an application to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for an arrest warrant against members of the Israeli government, namely Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Joav Gallant.

The USA has that Roman Statute have not ratified the Treaty on which the Court is founded and have revoked their signature – as has Israel.
