Lawmakers in both parties are ramping up calls for military action against Iran, with Netanyahu and Trump aligned on escalating tensions. Senator Lindsey Graham even said the U.S. should support Israel if it “decimates” Iran’s nuclear program.
The ICC has a war crimes arrest warrant out for Netanyahu, but he was warmly welcomed in Washington. Protesters called for his prosecution, but the U.S. government is offering him more weapons instead.
