Rep. Chip Roy Press Office has recently expressed concerns and actions regarding the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The press office, through a series of tweets on November 21, 2024, emphasized the necessity for legislative measures and political support in response to this international development.

In a tweet posted at 14:42 UTC, the press office stated, "The ICC’s brazen decision to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu must be met with action Congress did our job w/ Rep. Roy, @RepBrianMast, & @RepStefanik's bill to put sanctions on the ICC if they go after us or our allies Senator Schumer must stand with Israel & pass HR 8282". This message calls for U.S. legislative action against the ICC should it pursue charges against American interests or its allies.

Later that day at 15:47 UTC, another tweet urged immediate Senate action on proposed legislation. It read: "The Senate must put @RepStefanik, @RepBrianMast, and Rep. Roy's H.R. 8282 on the floor now! Stand with Israel". This emphasizes urgency in addressing the situation by moving forward with House Resolution 8282.

At 17:46 UTC, gratitude was extended towards co-sponsors of the resolution via another tweet listing several representatives who have supported the bill: "Thank you, co-sponsors! @RepBrianMast @TXRandy14 @RepStefanik @RepDanCrenshaw @RepDesposito @RepBobGood @RepTenney @RepJimBanks @RepBrecheen @repkevinhern@RepMikeLawler @RepAndyBarr@RepKeithSelf@RepWaltzPress@RepDonaldsPress@ RepMcCormick@ RepMarkGreen".
