U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sanctioned two judges from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Dec. 18, accusing them of being directly engaged in the “illegitimate targeting” of Israel.

The ICC, headquartered in The Hague in the Netherlands, recently ruled against Israel in a case related to its actions in Gaza.
