US House passes legislation to slap ICC with sanctions

After US House Republicans advanced legislation set to "punish" the International Criminal Court (ICC) on June 3, the US House passed this legislation in a vote of 247 to 155 votes. This is not the first time the US sanctions or attempts to sanction the ICC. It is notable that even though this legislation is Republican-led, 42 Democrats have also supported it. By taking this move, the US continues to show support for "Israel" against international organizations, as these sanctions followed the ICC's chief prosecutor filing for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Security Minister Yoav Gallant.
