This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong opposition to the International Criminal Court's request for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The resolution argues that Israel has a right to defend itself following Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, and contends that Israeli leadership has coordinated humanitarian aid to Gaza, including over 828,700 tons of aid and the evacuation of thousands of wounded people. The measure calls on the International Criminal Court to immediately withdraw the arrest warrant applications and emphasizes that neither the United States nor Israel are members of the court due to sovereignty concerns. The resolution also directs the U.S. government to continue supporting Israel's efforts against Hamas and other security threats in the region. This is a non-binding resolution expressing congressional sentiment rather than establishing new law or funding.
