I don't understand why this is such an urgent topic. Is ICC currently prosecuting an US citizen?

The sanctions announcement coincided with a former ICC judge, Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to enlarging the scope and impact of international law. -- https://thehill.com/policy/international/6138693-rubio-impos...

The Americans got upset first because the ICC wants to take action against the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.

But now it just happens to be that their president didn't get the Nobel peace price. The person who did was a judge on the ICC.

It could be a complete coincidence, of course. I mean, if it isn't, it would reinforce the notion of the USA being a clown of a country, which I'm sure Americans would prevent.

An Israeli citizen probably.
