U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan.

Four International Criminal Court judges from Uganda, Peru, Benin, and Slovenia face U.S. sanctions for their involvement in cases targeting Israel.

The move is retaliation over the war tribunal's probe into alleged war crimes by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and over an arrest warrant for Israel's Netanyahu.
