Summary
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions on four ICC judges—Solomy Balungi Bossa, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou, and Beti Hohler—due to their “illegitimate” targeting of Israel and the US, linked to arrest warrants against Israeli officials and investigations into US war crimes. The ICC condemned the sanctions, asserting they undermine its independence and hinder accountability efforts. Rubio criticized the ICC as politicized, claiming it infringes on US sovereignty, while Netanyahu praised the US intervention.
