The House of Representatives has passed legislation authored by Congressman Brian Mast (FL-21) to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) for its actions against Israel regarding its defense measures against Hamas.
“This bill is a message to the world that we will not sit by and watch a globalist ‘court’ interfere with Israel’s right to defend itself,” said Congressman Mast. “There are still six Americans held captive by Hamas in Gaza, and we must support Israel in its fight to bring them home.”
The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act would impose sanctions on any individual involved in investigating, arresting, detaining, or prosecuting American citizens or officials from allied U.S. countries, including Israel. The sanctions include revoking visas, deportation from the United States, and denial of future visas for these individuals and their family members.
The legislation was passed with a vote of 247-155. The full text of the bill is available for review.
