House Passes Measure To Sanction ICC in Bipartisan Vote, Setting Stage for Senate Approval

The House of Representatives has passed legislation to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its efforts to arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The bill received support from 243 members, including most GOP lawmakers and 45 Democrats. The measure is now expected to move to the Senate for approval. The legislation aims to apply sanctions on ICC judges and prosecutors involved in authorizing the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant, who have been charged with 'crimes against humanity and war crimes.' The incoming Trump administration is also planning to issue executive orders imposing sanctions on individual ICC prosecutors, judges, and the institution.
