Washington — In response to news that the Biden administration is considering supporting congressional action against the International Criminal Court, Indivisible released the following statement:
“For months, Indivisible has urged President Biden to break from Prime Minister Netanyahu and use more diplomatic leverage to stop the killing in Gaza. Netanyahu and his government are perpetrating a brutal war with enormous civilian loss of life, through direct bombing and gunfire, as well as from restriction of food, water, and medicine. Netanyahu has regularly disregarded the Biden administration’s guidance and requests regarding military strategy and the delivery of humanitarian assistance. He's a corrupt, authoritarian leader who would prefer Donald Trump to be president of the United States. Undermining the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court on his behalf would be a grave strategic mistake - a mistake that Indivisible urges President Biden and congressional leaders to avoid.
“Rather than eroding legitimate paths to seeking peace and justice, the US should prioritize securing an immediate and permanent ceasefire, returning all hostages to their families, and taking steps towards security for all in the region. “
