Summary

Governments worldwide condemned Donald Trump’s sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) after it issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Gaza war crimes.

Trump’s order imposed economic sanctions and travel bans on ICC staff, calling the warrants “illegitimate.”

The ICC and 79 nations, including Germany, France, and the UK, denounced the move as a threat to international justice.

Amnesty International called it “vindictive.” ICC officials fear the sanctions could disrupt their work, with Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan potentially targeted next.

    Since the US is providing weapons to Israel can the ICC issue a warrent for Trump as well?
