Democratic representative urges US authorities to arrest Netanyahu, hand him over to ICC

WASHINGTON, July 24 (YPA) – Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib has called on the American authorities to arrest the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation entity, Benjamin Netanyahu, and hand him over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

In her post on X, Tlaib considered that “it is completely shameful that leaders from both parties (Republican and Democratic) invited Netanyahu to deliver a speech before the US Congress.”

She stressed that “Netanyahu is a war criminal committing genocide against the Palestinian people.”

Tlaib’s call came hours before a speech Netanyahu is expected to deliver before Congress on Wednesday, in a tense context between the two allies after more than nine months of aggression against the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu’s visit to Washington comes in the midst of political turmoil in the United States that began with an assassination attempt on Republican candidate Donald Trump and the withdrawal of Democratic President Joe Biden from the race for the White House, and his Vice President Kamala Harris entered the line and sought to obtain the Democratic Party nomination for the presidential elections next November.
