U.S. Escalates Clash with ICC Over Netanyahu Indictment

 


The United States is weighing sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) following its indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes during the Gaza conflict.

According to diplomatic sources, Washington is considering “entity sanctions” that would target the court as a whole—an unprecedented move that could disrupt its daily operations, from paying staff to accessing banking services and software. The ICC has already held emergency meetings, and staff reportedly received salaries in advance to prepare for potential financial blockades.

The Biden administration has previously sanctioned individual ICC officials, but expanding measures to the institution itself would mark a dramatic escalation. A U.S. State Department spokesperson accused the court of overstepping its jurisdiction and warned that further steps would be taken to protect American and Israeli personnel.

Meanwhile, ICC member states are expected to push back at the United Nations, arguing that such sanctions undermine international justice. Still, U.S. officials insist the court poses a national security threat, framing the move as a defense of sovereignty and allied interests.
