ICC condemns sanctions by Trump administration and pledges to continue its work

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its investigation of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza and arrest warrants for Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The order declares a national emergency, stating the ICC's actions pose an unusual threat to U.S. National security, exposing personnel to potential harassment and arrest.
The sanctions include blocking property and assets of court personnel and banning their entry into the U.S., though specific individuals were not named in the order.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the sanctions as overly broad, warning they could negatively impact American companies working with the Hague court.
