Republicans are increasing calls for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to put a House-passed bill on the floor that would sanction the International Criminal Court as it considers whether to grant an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The measure passed the House on Tuesday with 42 Democrats joining every Republican to vote in favor. Now, Senate Republicans are going on the attack to call for a vote in the upper chamber, which Democrats are highly unlikely to grant. “Our members are very, very much wanting to go on offense on that,” Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters. “So yes, we’d love to get that taken up over here.”
