Rashida Tlaib News

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., called for the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and charge him with committing genocide during the Israel-Hamas war.

Tlaib's statement came as Israel began a ground operation in Rafah. Tlaib said the families displaced in Rafah will face "unimaginable human suffering."

Tlaib, the only lawmaker of Palestinian heritage, called Netanyahu's government, "an apartheid regime." The U.S. fears Israel would back out of a cease-fire if the ICC proceeds with the warrants, and the Group of Seven nations have begun a quiet diplomatic effort to express that message to the court in The Hague, according to Bloomberg.

In February, Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor for the ICC, said he was concerned about the Israel-Hamas war and the potential for an Israel invasion of Rafah.
