The US House of Representatives has voted to sanction the International Criminal Court over arrest warrants it issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister.
The United States House of Representatives has passed a bill to sanction International Criminal Court officials in response to the court issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In November last year, the ICC issued three arrest warrants for Netanyahu, his former defence chief Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Diab.
" The US House voted in favour of the "Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act", which would sanction any foreigner who investigates, arrests, detains or prosecutes US citizens or those of an allied country, including Israel, who are not members of the court. Forty-five Democrats joined 198 Republicans in backing the bill. No Republican voted against it.
