News24 | Trump condemned for ICC sanctions over Israel, US probes
Friday, 7 February 2025 () The International Criminal Court on Friday condemned US sanctions over probes targeting America and Israel and pledged to press on with its aim to fight for "justice and hope" around the world.
President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the ICC for "abusing its power" after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu. The order freezes ICC officials' assets and imposes travel bans, citing “illegitimate actions” against the US and Israel. Trump’s move follows a White House meeting with Netanyahu, where they discussed Gaza and regional policies. The ICC's probe into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan has faced US opposition, with Trump previously sanctioning the court in 2020. The Biden administration later lifted those sanctions.

The U.S. is reportedly set to transfer the powerful 11-ton "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) to Israel, marking a major shift in policy amid rising tensions with Iran. This devastating non-nuclear weapon, capable of destroying deep underground facilities, could be used to target Iran’s uranium enrichment sites. Past U.S. presidents, including Bush, Obama, and Biden, denied Israel's request for the bomb, but Trump now appears to have changed course. With fears of Iran nearing nuclear weapons capability and Trump warning of severe retaliation against any Iranian threat, is the region on the brink of war?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a golden pager during their Washington meeting, referencing a deadly September operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli operation, which involved explosions destroying Hezbollah members' pagers and walkie-talkies, killed 37 people, including children, and injured nearly 3,000. Trump returned the gesture with a signed photograph of the two, labeling Netanyahu a “great leader.” This exchange highlights the strained geopolitical context between Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed militant groups.
