President Trump's Sanctions on International Criminal Court
A White House official has claimed that President Donald Trump will sign an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), targeting allies such as the US and Israel. The official stated that the executive order would authorize financial sanctions and visa restrictions on individuals and family members who assist in ICC investigations involving US citizens or allies.
Arrest Warrant Issued for Netanyahu
The ICC had issued an arrest warrant on November 21, 2024, for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. If Netanyahu and Gallant travel to a country that is a party to the ICC, they are to be arrested by the authorities of that country and handed over to the ICC.
