Dutch foreign minister Tom Berendsen is fiercely defending the International Criminal Court after the U.S. slapped sanctions on its top officials — including the president and a prosecutor involved in drafting arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The move, targeting a court based in The Hague, signals Washington’s effort to shield allies from ICC scrutiny — even though the U.S. and Israel aren’t members. Berendsen publicly opposes the sanctions, offering to meet with the ICC president to reaffirm Dutch support, while the ICC warns such actions could cripple its operations. U.S. officials, meanwhile, are doubling down, calling the court biased and vowing to dismantle it.
