This is the best summary I could come up with:

The US is concerned about Israel’s growing diplomatic isolation among countries that have traditionally supported it, Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said on Wednesday.

They also came amid efforts by the Biden administration and Congress to coordinate a response to a decision by the international criminal court (ICC) to seek an arrest warrant for Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over Israeli actions in Gaza.

Sullivan expanded on comments to the Senate foreign relations committee by the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, on Tuesday in which he said the administration was ready to work with Congress on enacting potential penalties against the ICC in response to its bid to seek Netanyahu’s arrest.

The ICC’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, announced on Monday that he was pursuing warrants for Netanyahu’s arrest, as well as that of the Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, and three senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismael Haniyeh.

The move was denounced as “outrageous” by Biden, who said it assumed a false moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas, which is officially designated as a terrorist group by the US, Britain and the European Union.

Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives have publicly mooted legislation against the ICC, of which the US is not a member, although it has supported some of its previous attempts at mounting prosecutions, notably against the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, over the invasion of Ukraine.
