WASHINGTON/THE HAGUE ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on two more judges from the International Criminal Court over their involvement in the court¡¯s case against Israel, ratcheting up Washington¡¯s pressure campaign against the war tribunal.
In November 2024, ICC judges issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli defense chief Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Gaza conflict.
The Trump administration has already imposed sanctions on nine ICC judges and prosecutors and threatened to designate the court in its entirety ¡ª a move that would be detrimental to its operations ¡ª if the ICC did not drop its charges against the Israeli leaders.
