The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act is a bill in the U.S. Senate (having already passed the U.S. House) that declares that the ICC’s actions against Israel are illegitimate and baseless. The bill places sanctions on any people aiding the ICC in arresting, detaining, and prosecuting Americans and its allies, including Israel, who are not ICC members.
As the Senate measure needs sixty votes to pass, a bipartisan effort is underway to bring the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act bill forward as early as today (1/28) or tomorrow (1/29) in a manner that can garner the necessary votes.
This vote will be a critical opportunity for Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Maryland’s brand new senator (who replaced Senator Ben Cardin), to demonstrate her stance on this issue. It is yet another opportunity for Senator Chris Van Hollen (the now- senior Maryland senator) to change course from his various anti-Israel stances of the past year and a half.
Please participate in this outreach effort to urge Senators Alsobrooks and Van Hollen to vote YES on the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act!
Thank you.
