A delegation including leading human rights lawyers is set to call on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Donald Trump and other senior members of his administration over their support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Members of the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (Taag) are due to travel to The Hague on Wednesday, November 11, where they say they will hand evidence directly to the Office of the Prosecutor.
The group will ask the court to pursue Trump, US secretary of state Marco Rubio, and other senior US officials over allegations they have aided and abetted genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Taag says the submission is the result of almost a year of evidence gathering and includes sworn affidavits from doctors who have worked in Gaza, eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, video footage and documentation relating to US political, military, diplomatic and financial support for Israel.
The allegations are being made by Taag and its representatives, and the submission does not itself mean the ICC has accepted the claims or will seek arrest warrants.
UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese (below) is expected to deliver a keynote intervention, with speakers also set to include international lawyers, medical professionals and Palestinian rights advocates.
Taag describes itself as an organisation bringing together US taxpayers seeking accountability for US officials over their alleged role in aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza.
In a statement ahead of the submission, the delegation said: “The United States and Israel have moved to delegitimise the International Criminal Court, sanction its officials, and criminalise those who document or support accountability for the genocide in Gaza.
“The sanctions imposed by the US in 2025 on UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese after the presentation of her report on corporate complicity in the genocide in Gaza and the most recent verbal assault when she presented her report on media complicity are part of the same campaign. So are the broader efforts to treat any cooperation with international legal institutions as hostile. Without the enforcement of international law, the crimes continue with the protection of the states that supply the weapons and the political cover.
“The delegation’s message is simple: No more impunity for those who finance, arm, aid and abet genocide. No government official is above international law.”
Among those expected to appear alongside Albanese are Taag legal team members Curtis Doebbler and Maria Kari, and the organisation’s co-founders Tariq Ra’ouf, Mohammad Ali, and Anna Marie Stenberg.
Human rights attorney and Freedom Flotilla Coalition co-founder Huwaida Arraf, Palestinian-American novelist Susan Abulhawa, and trauma surgeon Dr Feroze Sidhwa, who has twice served in Gaza, are also listed among the speakers.
David McIntosh, described by Taag as a former Gaza Humanitarian Foundation manager and expert witness, will also take part.
The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a close ally of Trump, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. The US administration reacted by sanctioning officials at the top court.
It comes after Taag and fellow human rights organisation Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) took legal action against the Trump administration over sanctions introduced under a 2025 executive order targeting people involved with certain ICC investigations.
The groups argued the restrictions prevented them from sharing evidence with the court and working with sanctioned human rights figures, including Albanese, without risking severe financial or criminal penalties.
In October 2026, US District Judge Jesse M Furman granted the organisations a preliminary injunction, finding the restrictions were likely to violate their First Amendment rights.
The ruling protected Taag and Dawn from enforcement for activities covered by the case, allowing Taag to proceed with its planned submission to the ICC.
