Shouldn't the ICC also issue a warrant for the guy funding the whole thing?

[michaelirwin]

Biden is wrong, seriously wrong, about Israel and Netanyahu!

[sbeast]

Great, but it's not up to him. It's up to the ICC to make that decision. Biden should focus on protecting his own borders, and let the experts on international law do their job.

[oldfogey]

It's easy to see why so many Americans are leaving both main parties.

[AllieSheffield]

If you are ignoring accountability for fascist crimes of Netanyahu, then don’t ask for votes!!!

[Wargutz]

Since the US is not a signatory of the ICC, no one cares if the president rejects it.
You're not a part of the conversation if you chose to stay out of it.

[meegen]

In my opinion, this issue can be the critical impact for this year election. 😒

[Mac-ixqp]

Same responses that avoid real answers. So Disappointing. He can cross himself as many times as he wants, this hurts his image.

[Its-Always-Something]

Biden should not interfere with any court including the ICC!!! A warrant is appropriate in this case!

[mstunameow]

If there's some nuanced diplomatic reason for not supporting war criminal status for a military operation killing more women and children than actual "terrorists" he better effing explain it.

[sharkbait]

Why should US Media or anyone else bothered by the ICC when they don't recognise the organization?

[oldfogey]

Use the same rules and laws for everyone.

[entrance]

Umm Joe, the ICC is not asking for your approval.

[billyyank]

This unwavering Israel support will be this administrations one to blame except themselves.

[lisamareeaccary]

It’s disgusting that Biden disagrees, how can he !??

[retchie]

I just have one question to the united states from the rest of the western world; What are we to you? is international law US law?! is that what we are getting from this? if you WANT it to be an ALLIANCE and not a HAGEMONY you NEED to respect international law!

[olorin]

You gotta do better Joe. I’ve supported you all along. You don’t want to lose the enthusiasm of people like me. The world needs America to be better and we must hold our allies to a high standard as well. Don’t ruin everything over a power hungry leader who’s trying to save himself from justice on Every front.

[gathrightcrystal]

Well he just paid kenya to fight Haiti so 🤷 yeah
😎🍦

[GeneTurner-ggyo]

Because the USA is on the wrong side of this, and just look at its own court system!!! Just bending with the wind! accountability be damned!

[jesussanchez-ojkm]

Moral turpitude at the highest levels of American government is sickening!!
