US taxpayer group calls on ICC to investigate Trump, Rubio for ‘aiding’ Gaza genocide
A US taxpayer group and international human rights lawyers have asked the International Criminal Court to investigate President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio over alleged US complicity in crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. The submission accuses them of “aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity”; it is a request for an investigation, not a finding by the court.
The Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide said its submission includes sworn statements from doctors who worked in Gaza, eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, video and documentation of US support for Israel. Participants include trauma surgeon Feroze Sidhwa and former Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contractor David McIntosh. The group said it spent nearly a year compiling evidence and argued that US support was essential to Israel’s military campaign.
In short
- US campaigners asked the ICC to investigate Trump and Rubio.
- The submission alleges complicity in crimes in Gaza.
- It includes witness accounts, video and other documentation.
