U.S. Senator Marco Rubio has warned the International Criminal Court (ICC) that it could inflict "immense damage" upon itself if it does not reverse its course regarding investigations involving Israel. Rubio stated that if the ICC proceeds against Israeli figures, it could eventually target American citizens, emphasizing that the core issue is the ICC itself, not the individuals involved. He also addressed the matter of U.S. aid to Israel, suggesting that Israel is now wealthy enough to purchase American weaponry rather than receive it as funded aid. "Israel is currently rich enough to become a country that purchases weapons from us," Rubio said, adding that while Israel can buy military equipment, the U.S. no longer needs to finance these purchases.
Rubio's remarks were made in the context of the ICC's potential actions, which he believes could have far-reaching negative consequences for the court's legitimacy and future operations. He reiterated his concern that the ICC's actions could set a dangerous precedent, potentially impacting U.S. citizens in the future.
