Abdullah H. Hammoud, the mayor of Dearborn, has pledged to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they enter the city, calling on the other US cities’ mayors to take the same step. The United States is not a state party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute), which founded the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002.
This is despite the fact that US politicians from both major parties expressed outrage over the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israel’s Netanyahu, with many questioning the court’s legitimacy and demanding penalties against its officials.
