Secretary of State Marco Rubio hit four International Criminal Court judges with sanctions. He called their actions against Israel and America wrong and unfair. The four women judges come from Uganda, Peru, Benin and Slovenia. Rubio said they targeted American allies without good reasons. The sanctions freeze any money or property they have in America.
The court fought back and said the sanctions were bad for justice. Leaders there promised to keep working despite the punishment. They said hurting judges does not help people caught in wars. The court also warned that sanctions hurt victims who need help. Officials promised to protect their workers from American pressure.
Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump and Rubio for helping Israel. The Israeli leader said America stood up for his country against unfair treatment. Two judges had approved investigations into American soldiers in Afghanistan. The other two judges issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and another Israeli official over Gaza fighting.
