Senate Democrats have blocked Republicans from advancing a bill that would have placed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), after criticizing the measure as “poorly drafted.”

The ICC issued arrest warrants against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the nation’s former minister of defense, Yoav Gallant, for “crimes against humanity and war crimes” in November. The body accused Israel of targeting Gazan civilians in its campaign against the terrorist organization Hamas — an accusation Israel and its allies have disproven.

Drafted by Representative Chip Roy (R., Texas) and Republican Senators Jim Risch (Idaho) and Tom Cotton (Ark.), the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act would have inflicted visa bans and financial restrictions on ICC-affiliated officials. The bill passed the House earlier this month and needed 60 votes to advance through the Senate; it only received 54 on Thursday.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, the only Democrat who voted for the action, said, “I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to vote for this and support Israel.”

Democrats levied concerns that the bill was overly broad.

“The ICC bill is one I largely support and would like to see become law,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Thursday. “However, as much as I oppose the ICC bias against Israel, as much as I want to see that institution drastically reformed and reshaped, the bill before us is poorly drafted and deeply problematic.”

“A bipartisan agreement is still very possible and we hope, and urge, our Republican colleagues to sit down with us and come up with a bill that addresses the very real problems at the ICC without adversely affecting American companies and our allies,” Schumer said.

Cotton denied Democrats’ claims that the ICC bill would target “citizens of our allies.”

“Yes, if you are involved in illegitimately targeting Americans, you could face sanctions,” Cotton said. “This bill does not, once again, sanction foreign nations like the United Kingdom, but if British nationals at the court are targeting American citizens, you better believe they could face sanctions.”

Netanyahu will visit the White House on February 4, where he and President Donald Trump will likely discuss the ongoing six-week ceasefire arrangement Israel struck with Hamas, which is set to see the release of 33 Israeli civilian hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
