This legislation, known as the "Stop the ICC Act," seeks to implement a comprehensive prohibition on United States engagement with the International Criminal Court (ICC) . It explicitly forbids any U.S. official from cooperating with the ICC on any matter and prohibits the allocation of any federal funds to the ICC or for supporting its activities, including investigations, warrants, or prosecutions. The bill also mandates the cessation of economic support funds for the Palestinian Authority. This action is justified by the ICC's ongoing investigation into the "Situation in Palestine" and its recent application for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, which the bill states fulfills existing statutory conditions for withholding aid.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
