ICC Faces Sanctions Over Netanyahu Charges by Trump
President Donald Trump has once again made headlines by imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to what he calls “illegitimate and baseless” charges against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The charges relate to alleged war crimes committed during the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which the ICC had been investigating.
Trump’s administration has long been a staunch ally of Israel, and this move reflects his strong stance in protecting Israeli leaders from international scrutiny. The sanctions target ICC officials and agencies, which Trump argues are overstepping their authority and politicizing their efforts.
The U.S. had already been at odds with the ICC over its investigation into U.S. military actions in Afghanistan, so this latest development is part of a broader critique of the court’s authority and jurisdiction.
