The United States House of Representatives has voted in favour of a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) in retaliation for its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Legislators in the lower chamber of the US Congress passed the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act” by an overwhelming margin, 243 to 140, on Thursday in a signal of strong support for Israel.
Forty-five Democrats joined 198 Republicans in backing the bill. No Republicans voted against it.
Oh look, it’s the GOP decidedly not being “the same” as Democrats when it comes to this topic. Imagine that.
Just want to highlight that not a single House Republican voted against this.
