The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its prosecutor's decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli officials related to the war in Gaza. The vote was 247 to 155, with 42 Democrats joining Republicans in backing the measure. There were no Republican "nay" votes, although two voted "present." The measure is not expected to become law, but reflects continuing support for Israel in Congress amid international criticism over the Middle East country's campaign in the Gaza Strip. The bill is not expected to be brought up for a vote in the Senate, which is narrowly controlled by Biden's fellow Democrats. The legislation would impose sanctions on people involved in ICC prosecutions of Americans or citizens of U.S. allies that are not ICC members, including Israel. It also would block such ICC officials' entry to the United States, revoke any U.S. visas and restrict them from U.S. property transactions. (Reuters)
If only the leaders of the West were as zealous for their own countries as they are for Israel !
You mean they can do something right? Amazing!
Sanctioning the ICC is always good just on it’s own.

Defund the UN.
Kick them outta Manhattan.
Let Trump rehab the place as Trump Marina.

So true.
May God bless and protect Israel.
Why does no one tell Russia and Ukraine to CEASEFIRE?
This is good, put some pressure on the Senate rats and rino’s.
Huh? There have been many calls for a ceasefire in the Ukraine War, along with calls for Russia to pull out, or for Ukraine to cede territory.
Let it be Delaware!
Oops, wrong post. Sorry.
How are they going to sanction them? Will they prevent anyone from selling them legal sized paper?
