Washington, D.C. – Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued a statement following the House's passage of legislation imposing sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials.
“The International Criminal Court has no legitimate authority to infringe on the sovereign right of a democratic country to defend itself against terrorist attacks," Arrington stated. "In fact, its attempts to arrest the Prime Minister of Israel for doing so makes the ICC complicit in the murder, rape, and violence waged on innocent Israeli civilians at the hands of Hamas."
Arrington expressed pride in his role in advancing this legislation. “I’m proud to have helped lead the effort, alongside my colleagues like Congressman Chip Roy, to ensure the United States stands up for Israel’s inherent right of self-defense and immediately sanctions these radical ICC officials.”
