The recent actions of the chief prosecutor of the ICC to want to issue arrest warrants against two leaders of Israel are against the very foundational principles of the mandate of the ICC.
The ICC and its prosecutor will need, in due course, to explain why they chose to disregard both the publicly available evidence of Hamas’s continued responsibility for war crimes.
The measure is not expected to become law, but reflects continuing support for Israel in Congress amid international criticism over the Middle East country's campaign in the Gaza Strip.
Johnson said he hopes President Biden listens to other Democrats who are denouncing the ICC and calling for actions.

“What we do today for Israel will determine our fate tomorrow," said Graham.
The High Court of Justice's defense of senior Israeli officials against being put on trial in The Hague is now seen as exaggerated and baseless.
The latest decisions by the ICJ and ICC highlight a continuous trend throughout human history where Jewish plight is met with silence, and Jewish response is met with blood libel.
