US taxpayer group calls on ICC to investigate Trump, Rubio for 'aiding' Gaza genocide

A group of US taxpayers and international human rights lawyers have officially called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate President Donald Trump and his top diplomat Marco Rubio for "aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed by Israel in Gaza".

They announced it at a press conference at the court's home in The Hague, in the Netherlands, on Wednesday.

The submission to the court was organised by the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (Taag), and includes sworn affidavits from doctors who worked in Gaza, firsthand eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, video evidence, and extensive documentation of what they say is US military, financial, diplomatic, and political support for Israel, the group said.
