House Committee to Introduce Sanctions Bill Against ICC Following Israeli Arrest Warrants

Credited from: THEHILL

  • Rep. Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is introducing sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) this week.
  • The proposed legislation, known as the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, aims to penalize those investigating U.S. citizens or allies, particularly following arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu.
  • This bipartisan effort reportedly has wide support among Republicans and some Democrats, although a similar bill previously stalled in Congress.
  • The bill would permanently revoke U.S. funding for the ICC and intends to deter the court from acting against American allies, specifically targeting actions against Israel.
  • Critics, particularly among progressive lawmakers, may resist the bill amid ongoing concerns regarding the humanitarian impact of the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
