The US regime has imposed sanctions on four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges and prosecutors in a new effort to undermine the court over its actions against Israel.
In a statement on Wednesday, the US State Department said the sanctions were issued in response to the [court’s] ongoing threat to Zionist Americans and Israelis.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the ICC as a national security threat and an instrument of law-fare against Israel and the USA, echoing the rhetoric used by US President Donald Trump.
Rubio said that the four individuals sanctioned by the State Department had sought to investigate or prosecute individuals from Israel or the USA without the consent of either.
Among the sanctioned is French judge Nicolas Guillou, who presided over a pre-trial panel that issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former war minister Yoav Gallant last November 2024.

The ICC stated that there was reasonable ground to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bore criminal responsibility for war crimes, including using starvation as a method of warfare, and perpetrating crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The Israeli regime also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its genocidal war in fully surrounded and isolated Gaza Strip.
The ICC is also probing possible war crimes by US forces in Afghanistan.

Canadian judge Kimberly Prost has also been sanctioned for ruling to authorize the ICC’s investigation into US personnel in Afghanistan”, the US State Department said.
Two deputy prosecutors of the ICC, Nazhat Shameem Khan of Fiji and Mame Mandiaye Niang of Senegal, have also been sanctioned for supporting arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
Both Israel and the USA have rejected the authority of the ICC, but the court has maintained that it can issue arrest warrants because the places in which the alleged crimes took place are parties to the court.
On February 13, 2025, the US Department of the Treasury added the Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, to its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, barring him from entering the USA and freezing his assets in the country.
US sanctions undermine the foundation of international justice, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said, adding: The decision imposes severe impediments on the functioning of the office of the prosecutor.

In Germany during Herr Hitler,s reign all equitable judges were dismissed and political judges were installed Donald is trying to do the same .
That Donald sanctions those judges who judged correctly that Israel is genociding the Palestinians including acting in the same manner as the nazis did in the 30,s / 40,s shows a total lack of human right values ,uncaring for the suffering of a nation and race and as head of America an insult to any decent American .
Accusing judges of crimes against the Zionist regime?
Donald is behaving from a political position to a genuine case of genocide it speaks volumes about how cold blooded he is ,no normal human being can defend Israel or Netanyahu .
The USA is supporting this genocide but its not their first – millions of native Americans were genocided by previous governments even sending a guy named “Buffalo Bill ” paid by the US government to kill buffalo to starve the native population to death.

The u.s. criminals are out in the open and are willing to turn this planet upside-down to protect it’s Israeli criminals, but neither of these terrorists with all their mighty efforts will not succeed in hiding truth
Honestly speaking this is too much to stomach. Criminals are committing crimes then they take decisions of targeting those opposing their crimes. Amerikan regime with Zionist tainted blood continue to shield the holocaust criminals of a pariah entity. Nations of the worst and nastiest world must come together and unveil this fake power of satanic sanctions.
