Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweets that now is the time for the US Senate to sanction the ICC following its issuance of arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The House passed legislation to sanction the court in June but the Democratic-controlled Senate has been unable to do the same to date.
