AI Summary:
The United States House of Representatives votes in favor of a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) in retaliation for its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. The bill now heads to the Senate, where a Republican majority was sworn in earlier this month. It proposes sanctions for any foreigner who helps the ICC in its attempts to investigate, detain or prosecute a US citizen. United Nations experts denounce Israel’s methods in Gaza as “consistent with the characteristics of genocide” US legislators threatened retaliation against the ICC. In a letter sent to outgoing US President Joe Biden in May, dozens of human rights groups urged him to reject calls for punitive action. The ICC, based in The Hague, is a permanent court that can prosecute individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression. Israel has been a member since 2015, and the court first announced an investigation of crimes committed there by both Israeli and Hamas officials in 2019. The US has supported the court at times, for example, when the ICC’s top prosecutor sought an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

AI Summary:
A New York Court of Appeals judge issued a brief order on Thursday declining to grant a hearing to Trump’s legal team. That leaves the US Supreme Court as likely the president-elect’s last option to prevent a sentencing hearing from taking place as scheduled on Friday. Trump was found guilty in late May on 34 counts of falsifying business documents related to hush-money payments made to an adult film performer. In May, he became the first US president ever convicted of a crime. He has continued to reject any wrongdoing and says he is victim of political “witch hunt” Earlier this week, Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court for an immediate stay of the sentencing.
