Gideon Sa'ar to Marco Rubio: Thanks for sanctioning ICC
The Foreign Minister thanked the Secretary of State for deepening the sanctions against the Hague today.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar thanked Secretary of State Marco Rubio today (Thursday) on X for sanctioning the ICC for its prosecutions of American and Israeli officials:
President Donald Trump has sanctioned four ICC justices today in accordance with his campaign against the court for its prosecutions against Israel and the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly supported the move.
"Today, the United States is sanctioning four individuals, currently serving as judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC). We do not take this step lightly. It reflects the seriousness of the threat we face from the ICC’s politicization and abuse of power. The Department of State’s designations are made pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14203, which authorizes sanctions on foreign persons engaged in certain efforts by the ICC and aims to impose tangible and significant consequences on those directly engaged in the ICC’s transgressions against the United States and Israel.
