Already in 2002 US passed the "American Service-Members' Protection Act" that allows USA to deploy military to prevent U.S. or allied officials and military personnel from being prosecuted or detained by the ICC.

It passed via bypartisan vote well in time before US launched the illegal invasion of Iraq in which it committed various war crimes.

> Netanyahu and Putin are two war criminals according to International Court of Justice.

You mean the ICC, not the ICJ. The latter is a separate body that handles disputes between states.

Both have warrants for arrest by the ICC but note that neither Putin nor Netanyahu have been tried or convicted by the International Criminal Court.
