Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, successfully blocked a Republican bill aimed at imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant, which stem from alleged war crimes in Gaza. The vote concluded at 54-45, short of the required 60 votes. While Democrats criticized the ICC's actions as biased against Israel, they expressed concerns that the bill's language could harm U.S. interests and global legal frameworks. UN experts and European officials have cautioned that such sanctions would undermine international law, urging the Senate to reject the measure.
