Trump mulling sanctions on ICC judges over Netanyahu arrest warrant – report
The incoming Trump administration is drafting a list of possible measures to take against the International Criminal Court at The Hague in response to the court’s decision Thursday to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported Friday.
U.S. sources cited in the Kan report said the president-elect and his advisers are currently mulling possible sanctions against the International Criminal Court, including punitive actions targeting not only ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan, but also the ICC judges who signed off on the arrest warrants.
“The possibility is of imposing personal sanctions not only on the prosecutor or the court – but also on the judges themselves who issued the order,” one source was quoted as saying.
