kathimerini.gr (Greek)

The US is imposing sanctions on two International Criminal Court judges for targeting Israel. This action follows the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The sanctions are a response to the ICC's decision to seek arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, citing criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The ICC prosecutes individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is distinct from the International Court of Justice, which handles disputes between states.
