The Trump administration sanctioned four members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday over their efforts to “investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel, without the consent of either nation,” the State Department confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon.
“The United States has been clear and steadfast in our opposition to the ICC’s politicization, abuse of power, disregard for our national sovereignty, and illegitimate judicial overreach,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement provided to the Free Beacon. “The Court is a national security threat that has been an instrument for lawfare against the United States and our close ally Israel.”
The Trump administration also sanctioned United Nations special rapporteur Francesca Albanese in July “for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt International Criminal Court action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives.”
The U.S administration under Donald J Trump is hands down the greatest ally Israel has ever had. These recent sanctions by the U.S. are another important indication demonstrating the need to continue the fight for the truth about Israel.
