An Illegitimate Court Issues Illegitimate Warrants Against Israel

Washington, D.C. - Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), the nation's largest public policy organization for women, had this to say on the news of the International Criminal Court's (ICC) issuance of warrants against America's ally, Israel:

"The ICC's treatment of the nation of Israel and her leaders is unjust and divorced from reality. On October the 7^th, 1,200 innocent people died in Israel due to a heinous attack by the Hamas terrorists. Thursday's issuance of arrest orders for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is incomprehensible and illegitimate.

"I applaud President Biden and U.S. leaders at the Pentagon for their firm rejection. CWA joins Speaker of the House Johnson on his call for Congress to pass the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (H. R. 8282) to impose sanctions concerning the ICC's efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any protected person of the United States and its allies.

"Five Americans and about 100 Israelis remain hostage in Gaza, and time is running out as the conditions they are subjected to are dangerous and inhumane. That's where our focus as a country needs to be. We must realize that the ICC stands against us and all people of goodwill in that endeavor."
