Introduced

Summary

Would reaffirm that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and would not recognize the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction. It would also condemn the ICC’s recent arrest-warrant applications for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and declare support for Israel defending its leaders.

Show full summary
  • Israeli leaders: Offers explicit congressional condemnation of ICC action aimed at Netanyahu and Gallant, signaling political backing for those leaders.
  • U.S. foreign-policy messaging: Registers a formal, non-binding House position rejecting ICC jurisdiction and aligning congressional sentiment with Israel on this legal dispute.
  • International legal community: Increases political pressure on the ICC by framing the arrest-warrant applications as unwarranted international legal actions against Israeli officials.
