flag U.S. sanctions two ICC judges over war crimes probe into Gaza, citing political bias and rejecting court’s authority.

flag The U.S. has imposed sanctions on two ICC judges, Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia and Erdenebalsuren Damdin of Mongolia, over their roles in the court’s investigation into alleged war crimes in Gaza. flag The move follows the ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in November 2024. flag The U.S. condemned the ICC’s actions as politically motivated and an overreach, asserting it will not recognize the court’s jurisdiction over American or allied personnel. flag The sanctions block the judges’ entry into the U.S. and freeze any assets they hold in the American financial system. flag This marks the fourth round of U.S. sanctions against ICC officials this year, reflecting ongoing tensions between Washington and the international court.
