Netanyahu arrest: US Senator Lindsey Graham threatens sanctions on allies who try to help ICC
The US Senator made the announcement in an interview with Fox News, and also addressed Canada, Britain, Germany and France, saying that if they did, he would encourage restrictions to “crush their economies.”

America dictating how other countries respect their laws?
