In a major development, the US House of Representatives has advanced legislation to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) following its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. The legislation saw overwhelming support in the House, passing with 243 votes in favor and 155 against, with one abstention from Republican Rep. Thomas Massie. However, the road ahead is uncertain as the bill now heads to the Senate, where bipartisan support will be required for it to pass. This move comes amidst the Biden administration’s stance of refraining from punitive measures against the ICC, given the international body’s role in issuing sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin. What do you think about this development?
