00:00This afternoon, House Republicans are bringing a bill to sanction the ICC to the floor.
00:07How do you feel about that and do you anticipate Democrats being united against that bill?
00:13The president has denounced the actions of the ICC.
00:18I expect a lot of House Democrats to oppose this as being premature.
00:24The relationship that the U.S. has with Israel is strong and the president has been incredibly
00:33supportive of Israel.
00:36House Democrats provided votes to give aid to Israel and Ukraine within the National
00:40Security Supplemental.
00:41We are going to continue to be a strong ally of Israel, but we need to ensure that safety
00:48and security is a part of that.
00:51We feel that the ICC actions are premature at this point.
00:57Just a reminder that neither Israel or the U.S. is a signed member of the ICC treaty.
