Reaffirming that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

HRES 9 is a non-binding resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives reaffirming that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute (which established the International Criminal Court) and does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction. It specifically condemns the ICC's recent issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, calling these actions unwarranted. The resolution reiterates U.S. support for Israel's right to defend itself and its leaders against such international legal actions. This resolution does not create new law but formally states the House's position on U.S. relations with the ICC and its stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
