Blinken open to sanctions on ICC over Gaza war warrants
The Guardian US — May 22, 2024, 12:00 AM UTC
The Biden administration is open to imposing sanctions on International Criminal Court officials over Gaza war arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan accused Israeli PM Netanyahu and others of war crimes. Blinken expressed willingness to work with Congress on sanctions. The US, not an ICC member, has criticized the court's jurisdiction. Previously, Trump's administration sanctioned the ICC, but Biden lifted them in 2021.
