US lawmakers approve bill to sanction ICC over Israeli war crimes warrant

US lawmakers have given the green light to a bill set to slap sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its issuance of a war crimes warrant for Israeli leaders. Reporting live from Washington DC, Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro emphasizes that while several procedural hoops remain before the sanctions are enforced, the move is significant as it materializes the long-debated notion within the US House of Representatives.
