Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Washington's decision to impose sanctions on International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and ICC President Tomoko Akane, Shehab Wire reported. Netanyahu described the court as "false" in response to its pursuit of charges tied to the Gaza conflict.
The move represents a sharp escalation in tensions between the United States and the tribunal. The ICC has opened investigations into alleged crimes committed during the war in Gaza, actions that have drawn fierce opposition from Israeli officials and their American allies who view the court's jurisdiction as illegitimate.
