The House passed a bipartisan bill to sanction the International Criminal Court on Thursday after the body issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant in November.

The “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act,” reintroduced this week by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), received overwhelming Republican support.

US House of Representatives has approved a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) officials in response to the arrest warrants that tribunal issued against Israeli authorities for war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
