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 formally asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate former President Donald Trump and his top diplomat, Marco Rubio, for allegedly aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed by Israel in Gaza. This submission, organized by the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (Taag), took nearly a year to compile and includes sworn affidavits from medical professionals who worked in Gaza, eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, video evidence, and extensive documentation of US support for Israel, according to the group.

Among those involved in the case are Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon who made two missions to Gaza, and David McIntosh, a former contractor with the now-defunct Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Both have shared their detailed experiences with Middle East Eye. Taag argues that without US support, Israel could not have carried out the alleged genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as described by the United Nations and Holocaust scholars.

The group made the official submission at the ICC's headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands, on Wednesday.
