Former President Trump alleges Senator Marco Rubio is actively working to control the International Criminal Court (ICC). Trump claims this effort is intended to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referred to as “Bibi,” and others from potential ICC prosecution. US Secretary of State has previously criticized the ICC, deeming it “very arrogant” and “illegitimate” for asserting authority over nations that haven’t ratified its statutes. The comments surfaced amidst scrutiny of the ICC’s investigation into potential war crimes committed in the Palestinian territories. Trump's statement suggests a US political intention to influence the ICC’s actions. This raises questions about the independence and impartiality of the international court. The Times of Israel first reported this development.
