The US House of Representatives voted to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister. The legislation, called the 'Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act,' would impose sanctions on ICC officials and entities supporting efforts to investigate or prosecute protected persons of the US and its allies. The sanctions include blocking visas and prohibiting US property transactions. The bill still needs to be approved in the Senate, where it may face challenges in passing.
