Rep. Massie Calls Out House Rules Package for Including Measure to Protect Netanyahu
• Antiwar.com - David DeCampRep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has called out House leadership for including a bill as part of a proposed rules package designed to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The rules package, which is set to be voted on Friday after the new House elects its speaker, includes a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court, which recently issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif.
"The United States is a sovereign country, so I don't assign any credibility to decisions of the International Criminal Court," Massie wrote on X. "But how did a bill to protect Netanyahu make it into the House rules package to be voted on immediately after the Speaker vote? Where are our priorities?!"
