In an unprecedented move, a US-based human rights group has formally submitted a referral at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against members of the previous administration of Joe Biden and the former president for their complicity in Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, according to Middle East Eye.

Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) has called for a formal investigation into the actions of Biden, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin, and other US officials.

“There are solid grounds to investigate Joe Biden, Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin for complicity in Israel’s crimes,” said Reed Brody, Dawn board member and veteran war crimes lawyer.

“The bombs dropped on Israeli hospitals, schools and homes are American bombs, the campaign of murder and persecution has been carried out with American support. US officials have been aware of exactly what Israel is doing, and yet their support never stopped.”
