Israeli PM thanks Trump for sanctions against ICC

Israeli PM thanks Trump for sanctions against ICC

Jerusalem, Feb 7 (UNI) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday thanked US President Donald Trump for imposing sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The US president signed an executive order on Thursday imposing sanctions on the ICC over its persecution of the US and its allies, including Israel. Under the order, the US will impose "tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC's transgressions." The consequences include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the US of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members.
"Thank you, President Trump, for your bold ICC Executive Order. It will defend America and Israel from the anti-American and antisemetic corrupt court that has no jurisdiction or basis to engage in lawfare against us," the Israeli prime minister said on X.
