U.S. Representative-elect Mike Waltz has condemned what he views as antisemitism from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the United Nations (UN). He stated that Israel will respond decisively in January while continuing to defend its citizens against terrorist threats.
On his verified social media account X, Waltz claimed the ICC lacks credibility, noting that the allegations against Israel have been dismissed by the U.S. government. He affirmed that Israel has a lawful right to protect its people and borders from “genocidal terrorists.”
Waltz’s remarks indicate a growing concern among U.S. lawmakers about the treatment of Israel by international organizations. His call for a strong response in January suggests significant discussions regarding bias and perceived injustice against Israel in international forums.
On his Verified X page he said, “The ICC has no credibility and these allegations have been refuted by the U.S. government. Israel has lawfully defended its people & borders from genocidal terrorists. You can expect a strong response to the antisemitic bias of the ICC & UN come January.”
