                                 A BILL


 
 To prohibit United States cooperation with the International Criminal 
Court, the use of the Economic Support Fund to support the Palestinian 
            Authority, and any Federal funding for the ICC.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Stop the ICC Act''.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION AGAINST COOPERATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL 
              COURT AND SUPPORT FOR THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2014, and in each subsequent year, Congress has 
        enacted provisions, including section 7041(k)(2)(A)(i)(II) of 
        the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 
        118-47), prohibiting the use of economic support funds for the 
        Palestinian Authority if the Palestinians initiate an 
        investigation of the International Criminal Court (referred to 
        in this section as the ``ICC''), or actively support such an 
        investigation, which subjects Israeli nationals to an 
        investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians.
            (2) In 2021, the ICC opened an investigation into the 
        ``Situation in Palestine''.
            (3) The chief prosecutor of the ICC recently applied for 
        arrest warrants for Israeli leaders for a range of offenses 
        allegedly committed ``on the territory of the State of 
        Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023''.
    (b) Prohibition Against Cooperation With the ICC.--Notwithstanding 
any other provision of law, no official of the United States may 
cooperate with the International Criminal Court with respect to any 
matter.
    (c) Fulfillment of Statutory Condition.--The investigation referred 
to in subsection (a)(2) and the application for arrests warrants for 
Israeli officials referred to in subsection (a)(3) justifies 
prohibiting the use of economic support funds for the Palestinian 
Authority in accordance with section 7041(k)(2)(A)(i)(II) of the 
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47).
    (d) Prohibition Against Use of Economic Support Fund in Gaza.--None 
of the funds made available pursuant to chapter 4 of part II of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.) may be used to 
provide support for the Palestinian Authority.
    (e) Prohibition Against Funding for the ICC.--Notwithstanding any 
other provision of law, no Federal funds may be made available for the 
ICC.
