The Trump administration imposed sanctions Tuesday on the president of the International Criminal Court and a senior prosecutor who has investigated Israeli officials over the war on Gaza. The State Department targeted ICC President Tomoko Akane of Japan and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye of Senegal, freezing any assets they hold in U.S. jurisdictions or that touch the American financial system. Seye was on the team that sought an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israeli media report he also oversees an inquiry into Israeli funding for illegal West Bank settlements and the arming of Israeli settlers.
