Rashida Tlaib on ICC decision: ‘No one is above the law’

After US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemns the International Criminal Court’s decision to probe potential war crimes committed by Israel and the Palestinians, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, of Palestinian descent, tweets: “No one is above the law.”

The ICC “has the authority and duty to independently & impartially investigate and deliver justice to victims of human rights violations and war crimes in Palestine and Israel,” he says. “The US should not interfere with its ability to do so.”

No one is above the law.

The @IntlCrimCourt has the authority and duty to independently & impartially investigate and deliver justice to victims of human rights violations and war crimes in Palestine and Israel. The U.S. should not interfere with its ability to do so. https://t.co/HgTvbDA9u5
