Actions have consequences. President-elect Donald Trump’s team is acting on that ethos and preparing to challenge the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague with sanctions after it initiated arrest warrants against Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The ICC moved against the Israeli leaders on Thursday for supposed war crimes committed in Gaza by Israel as it retaliated Hamas terrorists over their deadly raid last year. The move came after President Joe Biden back in May revoked Trump’s original executive order against the ICC.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, initiated the application for the warrants along with applications for warrants against Palestinian terrorists, all of whom have since been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Hebrew media outlet Kan Reshet Bet reported Friday morning – as cited by 7 Israel National News – Trump is already moving even though his inauguration is still some two months off.
Sources in Washington told the news source “the possibility is of imposing personal sanctions not only on the prosecutor or the court – but also on the judges themselves who issued the order.”
In addition, there are those who argue the sanctions should also be extended to the family members of those elements in the court responsible for the arrest warrants.
As Breitbart News reported previously, ICC moves against Israeli leaders — equating them with Hamas terrorists — come in the wake of Biden’s reversal of sanctions against the ICC for such investigations and offered only meek public opposition to ICC chief Kahn.
The Biden administration was even suspected, by Israelis, of using the looming ICC warrants as a way of pressuring Israel to comply with U.S. policies, such as not pursuing Hamas terrorists in the town of Rafah.

Good! Eff them!
Burn these Europeans to the ground, give them some American payback!
In what world does a country get brutally attacked and then their justified response is considered a war crime?
The war ends when HAMAS surrenders and the hostages (or their bodies) are returned. End of story.
the sanctions should be levied against the Netherlands unless they kick the ICC out of their country ...
Justin Trudeau chooses to side with the ICC and Hamas against Israel. He does so standing next to Chrystia Freeland, whose grandfather was a leading Nazi in his day. History echoes.
The antisemitic decision of the international court in The Hague is a modern Dreyfus trial, and it will end the same way.

If the ICC is not stopped, they will eventually go after Trump, members of his administration and our military. Pretty sure that’s been the plan all along.
These clowns have now indicted the leader of the victim state, punching bag of crazed terrorists everywhere, as well as the leader of the world’s largest nuclear power. They believe they are the world government. Regardless of who they are going after at any particular moment, this is bad for the USA and human freedom everywhere, and needs to be stopped.
For those who don’t recall: Dopey Bill Clinton signed this treaty but never submitted it for ratification, and then Dubya withdrew the signatures.
And they complain about the public's loss of trust in them.
The VA Hospitals used to have lots of "American Rifleman" magazines in the waiting areas. During this usurping regime's era they've been replaced with hobbyist mags and "The Atlantic". As a public service I collect up the latter and properly dispose of them so the ailing veterans don't have mental aggravation added to their woes.
Issue arrest warrants for the ICC members
Upside down world that brings charges against terrorists but praise those who decapitate babies.
Sanctions against all Europeans except those who defy the court order like Hungary and Czech Republic. Argentina is also good. Milei shows he has good sense
Ignore them. I don’t recall the Senate passing any treaty with some stateless bureaucrats
Good.
The moment they brought David Frum on board I knew the Atlantic was sunk.
