On 11th November, 2026, Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (TAAG) submitted evidence to the International Criminal Court (ICC), demanding prosecutors to emit arrest warrants against President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other senior U.S. officials for aiding and abetting the genocide of Palestinians.
I was honoured and humbled to join inspiring speakers at the press conference organised the same day, including TAAG member Tariq Ra’ouf, Freedom Flotilla Coalition co-founder Huwaida Arraf, Palestinian novelist and activist Susan Abulhawa, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, and many more. Below you can watch a recording of the press conference.
“Let’s be honest here. We don’t need any more condemnations or tweets from public officials. We need action.
“My hope is that our actions at the ICC today inspire others around the world to seek justice in every avenue they possibly can. It’s clear that world leaders would rather play along with fascists than stop them. And we must demand an end to this idiotic behavior and nonchalance towards fascism before it’s too late. I, for one, have no intentions of going quietly into the night as world leaders walk us right into nuclear war. And I ask everyone that cares about building a better world to join us in our demands for justice.” — Tariq Ra’ouf, TAAG member
The group then gathered at the ICC, where they attempted to hand-deliver the evidence that TAAG had been collecting for almost a year, which was also submitted electronically. The Court refused to welcome representatives of the delegation. The protest – which had been organised by local Palestine solidarity activists – was, however, a powerful moment to come together and voice our support for TAAG’s submission.
The evidence includes testimonies from doctors who had worked in Gaza, eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, videos, and documentation of the US in shielding Israel, financing its operations, and supplying the weapons used in Gaza. The submission followed an injunction protecting TAAG’s First Amendment right to share evidence with the ICC, after the Trump administration tried to block such cooperation through sanctions.
As Israeli officials admitted themselves, the genocide would have not been possible without the involvement of the United States. This is why the submission is a fundamental step in the struggle for justice and accountability. As Francesca Albanese said during the press conference, international law remains one of the last peaceful instruments we possess to confront injustice and pave the way forward. The rools are there, what is missing is the political courage to use them.
