Republican Lindsey Graham has promised to sanction countries that enforce arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking in Jerusalem, Graham called the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant “beyond outrageous”.

“I am going back to Congress and introduce legislation very soon that would sanction any country that tried to enforce the arrest warrant against Israel,” Graham said.

“So you can be a close ally, Canada, Britain, France, you name it, if you buy into this arrest warrant as legitimate, then you’re going to meet stiff bipartisan resistance in America.”
