US House Votes to Sanction ICC Over Netanyahu Warrants

The U.S. House voted 247-155 to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials over alleged war crimes in the conflict with Hamas. The bill is unlikely to pass in the Democratic-controlled Senate, and President Biden's administration opposes the sanctions despite criticizing the ICC's actions. The ICC's move has sparked significant controversy, with some U.S. allies defending the court's independence while others, including Congressional Republicans, strongly oppose it.
