US sanctions ICC leaders
The United States has imposed new sanctions on International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Japanese national Tokuko Akani and another senior official, in an attempt to restrict the court's activities. The US accuses the court of being politicized and of investigating crimes committed by Israel during its offensive on Gaza. This move is seen as a response to the court's investigations into alleged Israeli war crimes, particularly in Gaza, where the court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister. The US sanctions, which include barring the judges from entering the United States and restricting their financial dealings, are a reaction to the court’s efforts to interrogate Israeli officials, while the court maintains that these sanctions undermine the rule of law and pose a threat to the independence of international justice.
