US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has welcomed the “long overdue” decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity, Anadolu reports.

“Since this genocide began, the United States has provided more than $18 billion in weapons to the Israeli government,” Tlaib said, adding the Biden administration “can no longer deny that those same US weapons have been used in countless war crimes,” including the use of “starvation as a weapon of war.”

“Our government must urgently end our complicity in these violations of human rights and international law,” she said. “Netanyahu and Gallant must be arrested and brought before the ICC.”
