Donald Trump is taking several big and huge decisions one after the other after assuming the post of US President. , Now Trump has taken major action against the International Crime Court (ICC). Trump has ordered a ban on the ICC. The US has taken this action due to investigating Israeli war crimes in Gaza. This action took place at a time when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a visit to the United States. During this time he also met Donald Trump.
What is in Trump’s executive order?
The US President has ordered the confiscation of property and travel ban of ICC officers, employees and their family members as well as anyone assisting in the court investigation.
American restrictions came after Netanyahu’s support, as Trump announced the American plan to ‘capture’ Gaza and transfer Palestinians to other Middle Eastern countries during his visit to the White House.
Court issued an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu
On November 21, 2024, the ICC issued an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former Defense Minister Yoav Galant and Hamas military chief Mohammad Def. The court has accused Netanyahu of ‘crime against humanity’ and ‘war crime’. Trump described this action as illegal and baseless and said that the ICJ has misused its power.
Trump signed an order to ban ICC
Donald Trump has signed an order to ban the International Criminal Court (ICC). The order states that both America and Israel are not members of this court nor do they recognize it. The ICC misused its power. He ordered the wealth of ICC officers, employees and their family members as well as people assisting in the investigation. Apart from this, his entry has also been banned.
The International Crime Court has declared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal and issued an arrest warrant against him. The Trump administration has long been opposing the ICC investigation against the US and allies and has been describing it inappropriate and inspired by politics.
Trump has already banned ICC.
During his first term, i.e. in 2020, Trump imposed financial and visa restrictions on the then ICC prosecutor Fatau Bansouda and other senior officers and employees. Trump called the ICC a ‘Kangaroo Court’ and took this step after starting an investigation into allegations of war crimes against American soldiers in Afghanistan.
