The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions Thursday against three prominent Palestinian human rights groups operating in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, citing their support for an International Criminal Court investigation into Israeli war crimes committed in Gaza, including genocide. In a statement, the Center for Constitutional Rights condemned the U.S. government’s sanctions against Al-Haq, Al Mezan and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. CCR writes, “At the height of Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide against the Palestinian people, the Trump administration has cynically chosen to punish the advocates leading the charge for accountability. This attack cements the United States government’s complicity in Israel’s crimes.”
