Former President Trump has signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), claiming the court has targeted the U.S. and Israel in its investigations, particularly relating to actions in Gaza. The ICC has condemned these sanctions, asserting its commitment to continue its mission of justice. The move has faced backlash, with European leaders criticizing it and the United Nations urging Washington to reverse its decision. Meanwhile, the ICC remains undeterred, emphasizing the need for global support to defend its independence against what it describes as a lawless policy.
