The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday to sanction the International Criminal Court in protest at its arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister over Israel's campaign in Gaza.

The House passed a bill on Thursday to sanction International Criminal Court officials – a move that comes in response to the court issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The House on Thursday passed a bill that would impose sanctions on International Criminal Court officials in retaliation for their issuance of an arrest warrant last year against Israel’s leader for his wartime actions in the Gaza Strip.
