The U.S. Senate is now considering H.R.23, the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act.” This bill has already passed the House and threatens to impose harsh sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for investigating credible war crimes, including genocide, committed by Israeli officials in Gaza. If passed, this legislation would shield war criminals from accountability and dangerously undermine international law.

TAKE ACTION: DEMAND Your Senator VOTE NO On H.R. 23

The ICC’s investigations into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant are based on undeniable evidence of war crimes in Gaza, where more than 180,000 Palestinians have been killed and injured since October 2023. H.R.23 is a blatant attempt to obstruct justice and protect perpetrators of mass atrocities.

This bill goes beyond shielding Israeli officials. It seeks to sanction anyone assisting ICC investigations into U.S. or allied officials, effectively promoting a culture of impunity. Such actions erode America’s credibility and commitment to human rights and international justice.
