Israel asked US not to lift Trump-era ICC sanctions: Report

Al Jazeera  

The US and Israel had previously condemned the Hague-based court for opening the door to a probe into alleged Israeli war crimes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged United States President Joe Biden not to lift sanctions imposed on International Criminal Court officials by the administration of former President Donald Trump, according to a report by Axios. Israel has increased pressure on the ICC following its ruling in early February that the court’s jurisdiction extends to the occupied Palestinian territories, paving the way for it to open investigations into war crimes committed by both Israelis and Palestinians, according to the report. Israel, meanwhile, has reportedly urged allies to pressure ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, one of the officials currently under US sanctions, no to move forward with any investigation involving Israelis.
