Incoming U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump, has criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Waltz stated that the ICC lacks credibility and its allegations against Israel have been refuted by the U.S. government. He emphasized that Israel has lawfully defended its people and borders from genocidal terrorists. Waltz promised a strong response to what he described as the antisemitic bias of both the ICC and the United Nations in January, when Trump takes office.
