Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution is a statement by the House of Representatives restating that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and does not accept the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction. It condemns the ICC's issuance of arrest warrant applications for specific Israeli leaders and expresses support for Israel. As a simple House resolution, it only records the House's position and does not change U.S. law, treaties, or executive branch policy.
This is a simple House resolution that can be adopted by the House alone; it does not go to the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law.
This House resolution formally restates that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and does not accept International Criminal Court jurisdiction.
It condemns the ICC’s issuance of arrest-warrant applications for Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and reiterates U.S. support for Israel and its leaders.
The resolution is declaratory and nonbinding.
As a simple House resolution it cannot become law in the statutory sense; adoption by the House is plausible but nonbinding.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward declaratory resolution that clearly states the House's positions and provides brief contextual citations. It contains the level of detail typically expected for a symbolic/commemorative resolution and does not attempt to change law or impose duties.

Progressives stress international accountability erosion versus conservative stressing sovereignty
Likely to view the resolution skeptically because it appears to shield leaders from international accountability and politicizes international law.
Supporters of international justice may see the blanket condemnation of ICC actions as undermining global human-rights mechanisms.
Will see factual elements as accurate (U.S. is not an ICC party) but look for diplomatic balance.
Supports clear statement of U.S. legal position while preferring restrained criticism of international institutions and avoiding escalation.
Likely strongly supportive: affirms U.S. sovereignty against supranational courts and defends Israel from what is framed as illegitimate legal action.
Views ICC actions as politically motivated and overreaching.
