Democratic Representative from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib, called Thursday on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants against "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials following the Israeli Occupation's control over the Rafah crossing.

Tlaib expressed her concern and horror over the crimes against humanity committed by "Israel," urging immediate international action to curb the aggression.

She emphasized that Washington must take responsibility for stopping the war and ensuring the safety of Palestinians.

Tlaib stated that the United States should cease all military funding to the occupation and called on President Joe Biden to intervene immediately to stop the violence and withdraw Israeli Occupation from Gaza.

Reports revealed that the ICC is considering issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and members of his government amid growing accusations of war crimes.

In response, some Republicans in the Senate have threatened to sanction the court if it proceeds in this direction.
