US Imposes Sanctions on Palestinian NGOs for Supporting ICC Probe Against Israel

The United States has announced sanctions against several Palestinian NGOs that have engaged with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in its investigation of alleged war crimes committed by Israel. The sanctions have been described as a direct effort to undermine human rights and stifle advocacy for accountability. Human rights organizations have condemned these actions as a blatant attack on international justice efforts. The U.S. Treasury added these NGOs to its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, citing their cooperation with the ICC as the reason for the sanctions. This move has sparked widespread outrage among those who support Palestinian rights and the pursuit of justice for potential war crimes in the ongoing conflict.
