US House Sanctions ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrant

The US House passed a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) after its chief prosecutor sought arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials. The 247-155 vote reflects bipartisan support for Israel, though the bill faces opposition from the White House and is unlikely to pass the Senate. The legislation would impose economic sanctions and visa restrictions on ICC personnel, which Democrats argue could hinder the court's global efforts. The move follows recent tensions over Israel's conflict with Hamas and ongoing investigations into alleged war crimes by both parties.
