US sanctions two ICC judges for rejecting Israel's appeal against Gaza investigation
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-sanctions-two-icc-judges-rejecting-israels-bid-invalidate-netanyahus-warrant(www.middleeasteye.net)The United States has imposed sanctions on two International Criminal Court (ICC) judges, Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia and Erdenebalsuren Damdin of Mongolia. The sanctions are a response to their role in an appeals chamber decision that rejected Israel's appeal against the ICC's investigation into war crimes in Gaza. This ruling upholds the validity of arrest warrants previously issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister. According to the US, the sanctions target the ICC's efforts to investigate and prosecute Israeli nationals without Israel's consent.
