The U.S. Department of State announced Thursday that it has sanctioned Judges Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia and Erdenebalsuren Damdin of Mongolia for their role in the ongoing investigation into war crimes in Gaza allegedly committed by the Israeli army, APA reports.
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, both judges voted in favor of rejecting Israel’s appeal to halt the court’s investigation and to cancel arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
In a written statement, Rubio said these judges had "directly engaged" in ICC efforts to prosecute Israeli nationals and called the court’s actions "politicized."
