4:34Now PlayingThe International Criminal Court’s issuing of arrest warrants for Israeli leaders over their conduct in their war against Hamas in Gaza set a "dangerous precedent” and was a "test run" for prosecuting U.S. citizens, Sen. Marco Rubio said during his confirmation hearing for secretary of state on Wednesday.
"This is a trial run to see, ‘Can we go after a head of state from a nation that's not a member?' If we can go after them and we can get it done with regards to Israel, they will apply that to the United States at some point,” Rubio said.
Rubio, the senior senator from Florida, was also a one-time Republican presidential hopeful who ran against President-elect Donald Trump. A former member of the Senate panel holding his confirmation hearing, Rubio also serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence.
