Jewish Leaders Applaud Executive Order Sanctioning ICC Officials
(Conference of Presidents) Arthur Stark, Chairman, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said Thursday: "We welcome the Administration's executive order today imposing sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials in response to politically motivated and inappropriate investigations into matters regarding the United States and Israel that are well beyond its province." "In pursuing these illegitimate investigations into the U.S. and Israel, the ICC betrays its purpose, distorts international law, and jeopardizes its own legitimacy as an unbiased judicial forum. We also commend the bipartisan call by 69 Senators and 262 Members of the House of Representatives who called upon the ICC to end its discriminatory campaign."
