Trump und der Kongress wollen wegen des Haftbefehls gegen Netanyahu erdrückende Sanktionen gegen den IStGH verhängen

SS:

We got the first sneek peek at upcoming Republican administration’s potential sanctions on ICC officials (this article was also posted on Netanyahu’s twitter recently)

Trump’s administration specifically wants to initiate sanctions against the ICC judges who issued the warrants, including the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

Affected ICC personnel wouldn’t be able to secure visas to enter the U.S. and their property and bank accounts will be frozen in America. The sanctions could be pretty broad and include family members.

There could also be ‘penalties’ on countries that cooperate with these particular ICC warrants.

Some highlights:

> Avi Bell, a professor of law at the University of San Diego and Bar Ilan University in Israel and founding dean of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum’s annual program on law and democracy, told Fox News Digital, “Several years ago, the ICC threatened to charge American soldiers for alleged crimes in Afghanistan. The fact that the ICC lacked jurisdiction did not cause the ICC to pause even for a second. It was only President Trump’s sanctions against the ICC (during his first term) that forced the ICC to obey the law and drop its threat to prosecute Americans. Sanctions against the ICC will work; persuasion will not.”

> Trump’s nominee for national security adviser, Mike Waltz, announced on X, “You can expect a strong response to the antisemitic bias of the ICC and U.N. come January.”

> One of Trump’s key Senate partners, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., upped the ante in a recent Fox News interview, saying, “To any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we’re going to sanction you.”

> Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean for the L.A.-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, warned democratic states that they could face persecution from the judicial activism of the world’s top war crimes court based in The Hague, Netherlands.

> He told Fox News Digital, “The warrant from a kangaroo court makes a mockery of justice and is a victory for Iran and its terrorist lackeys. Israeli leaders are guilty of defending their citizens from genocidal terrorists. France and the Netherlands were the first to confirm they would arrest PM Netanyahu and the list could reach 124 nations. Democracies beware you could be next.”

> Gabriel Noronha, a former U.S. Department State adviser on Iran who is now a fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, told Fox News Digital the ICC has known that it could face penalties for its legal action against the Mideast’s only democracy, Israel, but the ICC “decided to ignore diplomacy and face the repercussions of the United States.”

> He added that U.S. sanctions would mean that affected ICC personnel will not be able to secure visas to enter the U.S. and their property and bank accounts will be frozen in America.

> “The sanctions could be pretty broad and include family members,” Noronha noted.

> Noronha echoed Graham’s remarks. A second Trump administration, he said, could implement a “Diplomatic strategy to impose penalties on countries that cooperate with these particular ICC warrants.”

There is a certain level of disrespect for international institutions but it is usually couched in daily diplomacy (bull, but bull they would try and explain away) 

This is just so overt. A metaphorical middle finger to all the institutions that were majorly set up by the Western world.
