The U.S. House of Representatives has endorsed sanctions against the ICC due to the arrest warrant issued for Netanyahu.

On January 9, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill imposing sanctions against the International Criminal Court. This decision was made following the issuance of warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant by the ICC last year, as reported by CNN.

The bill received support from the Republican majority with 198 votes, along with 45 votes from Democrats. Conversely, all 140 votes against were cast by members of the Democratic Party.

The legislation outlines sanctions against individuals involved in any efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute anyone protected by the U.S. and its allies. It applies to 32 NATO member countries and 19 U.S. allies that are not NATO members (including Israel, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, and Egypt).

The bill also calls for the cancellation of U.S. funding for the ICC and prohibits any future financial allocations to the court.
