Trump was previously approved by the International Criminal Court employees during his first term in 2020.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order punishing the International Criminal Court, accusing him of “illegal and baseless measures targeting America and our close ally Israel.”

The procedure places financial restrictions and visas on individuals and their families who help in the investigations of the International Criminal Court for American citizens or allies.

Trump signed this measure as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting Washington.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu due to the alleged war crimes in Gaza, which is denied by Israel. The International Criminal Court also issued a memorandum of Hamas Commander.

Judges in the court said that there are “reasonable reasons” that Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yov Galet, and Mohamed Deate of Hamas hold “criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Doty Death was confirmed in an Israeli air strike last year By Hamas.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a global court that has the power to bring judicial prosecutions for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

In recent years, arrest orders were also issued to Russian President Vladimir Putin due to the alleged war crimes in Ukraine and the Taliban leaders due to the “persecution of Afghan girls and women” and Myanmar’s military leader for crimes against Rohingya Muslims.

The United States and Israel are not members of the court but more than 120 countries, including the United Kingdom and many European countries.

The Netherlands, which is hosting the court, said it “is destroying” Trump’s order.

“The work of the court is necessary in combating impunity,” said Dutch Foreign Minister Kaspar Felcamp.

On Thursday, the White House Memorandum accused the Hague Criminal Court, of the establishment of a “shameful moral equation” between Hamas and Israel with issuing orders at the same time.

Trump’s CEO said that the recent international criminal court actions “put a dangerous precedent” were exposed to the Americans by exposing them to “harassment, abuse and arrest.”

The matter said: “This malicious behavior, in turn, threatens to violate the sovereignty of the United States and undermines the national security and foreign policy of the government of the United States and our allies, including Israel.”

In a publication x On Friday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon said that he “strongly” praised Trump’s executive request.

He claimed that the actions of the International Criminal Court were “immoral and have no legal basis”, accusing the court of not working “in accordance with international law.

The United States has repeatedly rejected any jurisdiction by the commission against American officials or citizens, and accused the International Criminal Court of setting restrictions on Israel’s right to self -defense, while ignoring Iran and opposing Israel.

While the United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court, the former writer has warned to the first public prosecutor of the court that the sanctions may have a “profound effect” on its operations.

“The sanctions … they have the potential for property and frozen assets, in addition to suspending entry to the United States of International Criminal Court officials and members of their direct families,” Zakari Kaufman told BBC Work.

During his first term in his post, Trump imposed sanctions on international criminal court officials who were investigating whether American forces had committed war crimes in Afghanistan. These sanctions were lifted by the administration of President Joe Biden.

Last month, the US House of Representatives voted on the international criminal court punishment, but the draft law stumbled on the Senate.

In response to the efforts made to what they described as attempts to challenge the authority of the International Criminal Court, nine countries – including South Africa and Malaysia – launched the “Hague Group” last month in an attempt to defend the court and its rulings.

Trump’s executive order said, “The two nations [the US and Israel] They are prosperous democracies with armies that are accurately adhered to the laws of war. ”

During his last weeks in office, President Biden also criticized the international criminal court order in favor of Netanyahu, describing this step as “heinous”, saying that there was no equation between Israel and Hamas.

The issue of the International Criminal Court against Netanyahu and Gallant found reasonable reasons for the belief that they “bear a criminal responsibility for the following crimes as the participating forces to commit actions in conjunction with others: the crime of war from hunger as a means of war, against the humanity of killing, persecution and other inhumane acts.”

It also found reasonable reasons for the belief that “every criminal responsibility bears as civilian heads of the war crime of directing an attack against the civilian population.”

Trump’s signature on his last executive will follow his announcement during a joint press conference with the Israeli Prime Minister on Tuesday about a plan for the United States “to take over” Gaza, resettle its Palestinian population and transfer the region to “Riviera in the center east.”

After the Arab and United Nations leaders condemned this idea, the US President re -this on the social media platform on Thursday.

“The Gaza Strip will be handed over to the United States by Israel at the end of the fighting,” Trump wrote, referring to the war between Israel and Hamas, which is currently under the ceasefire.

He reiterated that the plan would include the resettlement of the Palestinians, and that no American soldiers will be deployed.

His position did not clarify whether the population of the Palestinian region will be invited to the million to return, letting the officials scramble to explain this.

White House press secretary Caroline Levitte said on Wednesday any displacement that would be temporary.

Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said that Ghazan would leave for a “temporary” period during the reconstruction.

Netanyahu praised Trump’s “wonderful” plan to redirect Gaza. On Thursday, Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, ordered the army to prepare for a “voluntary departure” of the Gaza residents.

He said that the plan will include leaving across the ground, sea and air.

Trump signed the matter as Netanyahu continued his visit to Washington, where he met legislators from both the Republican and Democratic Parties in Capitol Hill.

The Israeli Prime Minister also made a golden call to Trump.

The gift was a reference to Israel’s deadly operation against Hezbollah in September last year, using the besieged communication devices.

Dozens were killed and thousands were injured in attacks, including some civilians, according to Lebanese officials.
