The House of Representatives green-lit a bill Thursday that would slap sanctions against foreigners who attempt to enforce the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Illegitimate Court Counteraction (ICC) Act was approved 243-140, with 45 Democrats joining 198 Republicans to back the measure.

All 140 “nay” votes came from Democrats, including “Squad” members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), also voted against the bill.

The act would compel the president to enforce punishments — including the revocation of visas — against ICC officials pursuing Netanyahu, 75, and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, 66, over the conduct of Israel’s war against Hamas.
