This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Given the events of yesterday, I think we have to look at the appropriate steps to take to deal with again, what is a profoundly wrongheaded decision,” Blinken said at a State Department budget hearing with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Blinken’s comments were an early indication of the Biden administration’s openness to taking action against the Netherlands-based court for its application for arrest warrants for the senior Israeli officials.
The court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan also issued warrants for senior Hamas officials, including its leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.
In a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Tuesday afternoon, Blinken said he would “welcome” working with Sen. Lindsey Graham on “bipartisan” sanctions against the ICC.
“It’s clear Israel wants to do all it can to ensure civilian protection,” said Biden at a White House reception marking Jewish American Heritage Month.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has faced questions about its condemnation of the ICC’s actions while saying it continues to support the court’s investigation into Russian war crimes during its invasion of Ukraine.

Way to show you are committed to the international rules based order, mister Secretary.
Lol, it’s been “rules for thee, not for me” for quite a long time. In particular, look at the US’s 2002 Hague Invasion Act that basically says they don’t give a fuck what the court says and if they mess with the US or US military, they’ll do anything in their power to stop it, including taking military actions.
The US government saving big money on fleet expenses by all travelling in the same clown car.
Another hague invasion act incoming.
