US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for investigating the US and its allies.
The order states that the ICC’s targeting of Israeli officials has “set a dangerous precedent” by exposing Americans to “harassment, abuse and possible arrest,” thereby endangering them.
“The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel" of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant,” the order reads.
