'Abuse of power’: Trump admin slaps sanctions on ICC judges over Netanyahu arrest warrant

In a major move, the Trump administration slapped sanctions on four International Criminal Court judges involved in cases tied to Israel and the United States. The judges, Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda), Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranza (Peru), Reine Alapini Gansou (Benin), and Beti Hohler (Slovenia), will face US entry bans and asset freezes under new measures announced by the State Department. Marco Rubio defended the move, calling the ICC actions 'illegitimate' and warning of overreach in prosecuting US and Israeli officials for alleged war crimes.
