(Hill) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials after Israel’s military seized control of the Rafah crossing on Tuesday.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, said with the ongoing incursion into the southern city of Rafah, there is “nowhere” safe for Palestinians in Gaza, and argued that Netanyahu will remain in his post as long as the conflict continues.
“I urge the ICC to swiftly issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and senior Israeli officials to finally hold them accountable for this genocide, as is obviously warranted by these well-documented violations of the Genocide Convention under international law,” Tlaib said in a statement Tuesday.
