Supporting Our Ally Israel
On Thursday, the House voted to pass H.R. 23, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, a bill that reinforces our support for Israel and protects U.S. sovereignty.
This legislation curbs the overreach of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has illegitimately targeted Israel’s leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, with baseless accusations of war crimes.
I will continue supporting our ally Israel, as they work to root out terrorism in Gaza and Lebanon.
Key Provisions of H.R. 23:
Sanctions: Requires the President to impose sanctions on ICC officials who investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute U.S. citizens or our allies, like Israel, without jurisdiction. Sanctions include property blocking, visa bans, and revocations.
Funding: Rescinds all current federal funding to the ICC and prohibits any future appropriations to the illegitimate court.
