Former national security adviser Robert O’Brien, center, traveled to Israel this week to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with two other former Trump administration members.
The trip came as an International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor announced he is seeking warrants for the arrest of both Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes in Gaza.

O'Brien said he and the other Trump allies also met with Gallant this week.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said in a statement that based on evidence collected and examined by his office, he has "reasonable grounds" to believe Netanyahu and Gallant "bear criminal responsibility for... war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine."

President Biden slammed the ICC request as "outrageous" on Monday.
"The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous," Biden said in a statement issued Monday afternoon.

"And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas," Biden added.
"We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security," the president continued.
