US Lawmakers Push Back Against ICC Over Israel-Gaza Cases

Forty-two House Democrats joined Republicans in voting for a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court in response to its prosecutor seeking arrest warrants against Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu. The bill passed 247-155 despite the Biden administration's opposition, which argued for more effective ways to support Israel and promote international justice. Bipartisan talks on the measure broke down, with both parties blaming the White House for the impasse.
