US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee national security adviser Mike Waltz tweets, “The ICC has no credibility and these allegations have been refuted by the US government.”

“Israel has lawfully defended its people & borders from genocidal terrorists. You can expect a strong response to the antisemitic bias of the ICC and UN come January,” he adds in one of the first responses from an incoming Trump official to the arrest warrants issued by the ICC for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant.
