at the ICC requested arrest warrants for a few Israeli officials

The US will say "Sorry ICC. Israel is covered under our law. Also - fuck you." Emphasis mine.

American Service-Members' Protection Act

The American Service-Members' Protection Act (enacted August 2, 2002), known informally as The Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as "a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party".

The Act gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".

ya, I don't remember the specific language they used in response to the warrant request but it was literally sth like 'an attack on Israeli sovereignty is an attack on US sovereignty'
