U.S. Imposes Sanctions on ICC Leaders Over Netanyahu Warrant
The United States imposed sanctions today, Tuesday, on the Chief of the International Criminal Court and a senior prosecutor, due to the court's investigations into crimes committed by Israeli officials during the Gaza War, including arrest warrants issued against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the sanctions target Japanese Judge Tomoko Akan and Senegalese Attorney Abdoulaye Se, as part of a crackdown against the Hague-based court. The court rejected this move, considering that the American measures undermine the rule of law, and they have sparked disagreements with European allies, especially since the court relies heavily on the independence of international justice.
