Trump imposes sanctions on ICC, accusing it of targeting US and Israel
Israel on Friday praised US president Donald Trump for imposing sanctions on the international criminal court, calling the court’s actions against Israel “immoral” and illegitimate, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).
“I strongly commend @POTUS President Trump’s executive order imposing sanctions on the so-called ‘international criminal court’,” foreign minister Gideon Saar said on X, adding the ICC’s actions were “immoral and have no legal basis”.
