Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham threatens to sanction US allies if they enforce the International Criminal Court’s issuance of arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, as many of them have pledged to do.

“To any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we’re going to sanction you,” Graham tells Fox News in an interview.

“If you are going to help the ICC as a nation enforce the arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant… I will put sanctions on you,” adds Graham, who has turned on the court after backing its decision to issue an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
