The U.S. government is reportedly considering sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to recent arrest warrants issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The warrants have raised questions about the ICC's jurisdiction, prompting discussions among U.S. officials and allies, including Israel, regarding potential next steps. Former President Donald Trump is reportedly leading the initiative, with plans for punitive measures that may include personal sanctions against ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and other judges involved in the case. The situation continues to develop as the U.S. evaluates its options.
