The Hague Invasion Act authorizes the US president to use any means necessary to prevent the ICC from putting politicians from major US-allied countries, including Israel, on trial.
Really not sure why Biden's reaction would come as a surprise to anyone. If he didn't condemn the ICC here, it would destroy all credibility the US has as being willing to defend its allies.
The US' most valuable allies recognize the ICC and look on such "law" as the thuggish assertion of brute lawless power that it is. It's nothing but empty chest-thumping for a domestic audience and if anything it does far more to harm the US' international standing than to enhance it. It's time to decide if you actually want to be the leader of the free world or just another bully in a world full of them.
In order to stand up to Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Sudan, and Myanmar, we have to join them in not belonging to the ICC, you see.
