Order says ICC issued ‘baseless’ arrest warrants targeting Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s ex-defense minister Yoav Gallant
Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the ICC. The order accuses the ICC of having “engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions” targeting the US and its “close ally” Israel, and said the court “abused its power” by issuing “baseless” arrest warrants targeting Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and its former defense minister, Yoav Gallant.
Amnesty International secretary general Agnès Callamard described the order as “reckless” and “a brutal step that seeks to undermine and destroy what the international community has painstakingly constructed over decades, if not centuries”.
Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, ordered the military to prepare plans to allow Palestinians “who wish to leave” Gaza to exit. Asked who should take the residents of Gaza, Katz said it should be countries who have opposed Israel’s military operations since the 7 October attacks. He also claimed that Spain, Ireland, and Norway, who all last year recognised a Palestinian state, are “legally obligated to allow any Gaza resident to enter their territories”.
