The United States imposed sanctions on two ICC judges who rejected Israel’s challenge to the court’s Gaza investigation, following earlier U.S. moves against court officials.The measures, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, bar the judges from entering the United States, freeze their U.S. property and restrict dealings with U.S. persons after the judges helped confirm arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.The
ICC denounced the action as a blatant attack on judicial independence, while
France expressed consternation and Israeli Foreign Minister
Gideon Saar welcomed Washington’s move.
