Netanyahu Praises US Sanctions on ICC Over War Crimes Arrest Warrant
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the recent American sanctions imposed on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. The ICC had issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu in 2024, accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Netanyahu criticized the court on the social media platform X, stating that it has become a tribunal that abuses its authority under international law and undermines the principles of justice. He commended U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for leading the Trump administration's firm efforts against what he described as the ICC's illegitimate overreach. Netanyahu also praised Rubio for making clear that the corrupt officials heading the ICC will face consequences.
