The Trump administration is reportedly finalizing unprecedented sanctions against the entire International Criminal Court, in response to the ICC's arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sources say the sweeping measures, expected as early as this week, could sever the court from much of the global financial system and disrupt its ongoing war crimes investigations. The move would mark an escalation of US pressure against the ICC and comes as pro-Israel groups such as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies urge Israel to deepen its dependence on Washington amid falling international support for its Gaza campaign.
