U.S. House of Representatives Set to Pass Sanctions on Anti-Israel ICC
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - The newly installed House of Representatives is set to vote Thursday to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over efforts to arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday, "The House will not tolerate rogue actors who circumvent international law to attack Israel and threaten America." Both Israel and the U.S. do not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction. Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), the new chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said, "Our bill sends a clear message to the International Criminal Court. We may not recognize you, but you sure as hell will recognize what happens when you target America or its allies."
