Summary
The House of Representatives approved the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, voting 243-140 to impose sanctions on the ICC following its arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Supported by Republicans and 45 Democrats, the legislation has drawn criticism for undermining international law and human rights. Proponents argue it defends U.S. and ally interests, while opponents claim it hampers justice efforts globally. The bill, now heading to the Senate, aligns with the U.S.'s long-standing support for Israel amidst ongoing conflict and differing perspectives on the ICC's role.
