The International Criminal Court (ICC) has paid staff three months' salary in advance, preparing for potential US sanctions after issuing arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu and former defense minister over Gaza operations, Orda reports, citing Reuters.
The US House of Representatives voted to penalize the court, though specific sanctions remain unclear, and US officials are currently tied up with confirming Trump's administration picks. Those pushing for the bill want a final vote as soon as possible.
The move could severely limit ICC's financial operations, mainly through US-connected banks or dollar transactions.
This marks the second US action against ICC, following 2020 sanctions on former prosecutor Fatou Bensouda over the Afghanistan war crimes investigation.
The ICC serves as the court of last resort for grave international crimes.
The US, China, Russia, Israel, and Kazakhstan are not ICC members.
