Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the Palestinian authority’s purported accession to the ICC for the purpose of initiating prosecutions against Israeli soldiers, citizens, officials, and leaders

This resolution called on the PA to withdraw its application for membership at the ICC and cease all litigation efforts against Israelis at the ICC and any other international judicial bodies. Inter alia, it also called on the ICC to rescind Palestine’s membership and acknowledge that Israeli courts had jurisdiction to litigate cases involving Israeli military and civilian personnel.

In fact, Palestine, not the PA, was inducted as a member of the ICC on 4/1/15.
