PNN – The representative of the US Congress criticized her colleagues for passing a bill to sanction the officials of the Hague Tribunal and declared that the US lawmakers prioritized the protection of the insane and murderous Netanyahu.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from Al Jazeera English, Rashida Tlaib wrote in a message on social media: What was their main priority in the first week of the new Congress? Cut costs? Dealing with the housing crisis? No, they boycotted the Hague Tribunal to support the insane and murderous Benjamin Netanyahu so he could continue the genocide in Gaza.
On the other hand, Congressman Jim McGovern criticized Republicans for prioritizing the Hague Tribunal sanctions amid wildfires in the state of California.
McGovern said in a statement: Republicans have shown this country how messed up and backward their priorities are. I must say that the bill passed today regarding the embargo of the Hague Tribunal really shows their backwardness.

The US House of Representatives on Thursday local time approved a motion to impose sanctions against the International Criminal Court based in The Hague, Netherlands (ICC) in protest of the arrest warrant against Israeli officials.
This plan, which was presented last Friday as soon as the 119th Congress began, was approved on Thursday local time with 243 votes in favor against 140 votes against.
The so-called Countering the Extrajudicial Trial Plan would sanction those who aid the Hague Tribunal’s efforts to try Americans or Israelis.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.
