US probably cant veto this. But they have threatened the people in the ICC.
Though they have been very vague and eerie with their threats. So it's definite concern for these judges.
Him issuing the request for warrants, other judges need to accept it.
This is why the ICC needs protection from rogue state actors. Not saying US is one. But ICC needs this protection from actors who would invade/abduct/threaten them.
Why should anyone care what the hypocritical US think? If it's legitimate enough to prosecute crimes in Rwanda and Bosnia, it should be valid everywhere. US isn't even a party to the ICC, so f them. They want to finally admit that justice is a sham, then go ahead and mask off. Stop lecturing others when everything is for sale in the US just because corruption has been branded lobbying. Entitled wankers.
Because the US is the most powerful military state in the world and has threatened to invade The Netherlands if any US officials are prosecuted for war crimes, and wouldn't surprise me if it did the same for Israel.
That is just political bullshit, that would never happen. First, it would completely destroy Americas reputation and the trust in the US lawfullness, with extremely damaging consequences for the US, and second it would automatically trigger a NATO response.
Unless the US first declares that the kidnapping of a U.S. official is an attack on the US and triggers NATO to support its military response to the Netherlands.

How long before they “disappear in a helicopter” or “ k*ll themselves” ?
So can the US veto this somehow?
Israel is evil
