Little Hitler should be arrested.
Too bad neither Israel nor the US are member of the ICC. That gives them far less leverage, even though they will likely put pressure on some weaker members of the ICC.
Nothing in the article says the US is doing anything. It just said Netanyahu is trying to convince the US to stop it
According to reports in several Israeli media, the United States is part of a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.
The US, which, like Israel, is not among the 124 countries that signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, is already engaged in the effort to block the arrest warrants, according to Harel.

I saw that and I wanted to know what exactly the role of Biden or any other whitehouse staff was so I read the rest of the article which said
Netanyahu is leading a “nonstop push over the telephone” to prevent an arrest warrant, focused especially on the administration of US President Joe Biden, Caspit writes.
So the entirety of the involvement according to this publication which says they are involved is that Netanyahu is calling "nonstop" to try to get them to intervene in an organization that they themselves haven't signed on to? Sure sounds like a lot of involvement at this moment.
The second paragraph I quoted does indicate that the US is currently actively involved
The US ... is already engaged in the effort to block the arrest warrants, according to Harel.
They should add Itamar Ben-Gvir to the list. He’s the worst one.
Don't forget finance minister Bezalel Smotich. He gets less attention than Ben-Gvir, but he is arguably to Ben-Gvir's right, as insane as that concept sounds.
Smotich has even acknowledged (in a joking manner) that he's a fascist.
There are a bunch of people in the government and the IDF that should end up in The Hague for what they did and do.
Stopping the genocide might help prospects
What's done is done. If they're complicit in direction of war crimes, they should hang.
He still needs to be held accountable for what he's already done.
Once again Biden is protecting and thus enabling genocide.
Vote genocide, no matter who!
Israel and the US show once again that they are enemies to a rule based international order. They are enemies to justice, diplomacy and human rights. Quite frankly they are terrorists.
Now the only question that remains is whether the countries that are signatories to the ICC will uphold a rule based order and get those criminals to face responsibility in a court of law, or whether it was all just for show and they happily descend into barbarism.
They need to atop because he should be in prison.
Both countries didn't join the ICC. There are obvious reasons for that - They know about being guilty. Keep in mind that the US is going after Assange not because he published some arbitrary "secrets" - he published evidence of American war crimes that the US army wanted to hush up.
I think, arrest warrants for Netanyahu and quite a number of people in the IDF are simply appropriate. The ICC is no political cangaroo court, and it would not charge or convict someone without evidence. Especially not a prominent figure.
Which is probably the reason why

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
