ICC 'deplores' new US sanctions on judges and prosecutors, prompting outrage from France and the global court. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accuses the ICC of being a "national security threat" in response to arrest warrants issued against Israeli PM Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. The US imposed penalties on four ICC officials, inciting conflict over the court's independence and sovereignty as part of ongoing tensions.
