Washington, D.C. – Today, Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued the following statement after House passage of legislation imposing sanctions on International Criminal Court 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. 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. 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.”
