On October 9, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sanctioned the entire International Criminal Court, the court that issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, and vowed to dismantle it "brick by brick." The move follows US sanctions on ICC judges, the UN special rapporteur on Palestine, and Palestinian rights groups that gave the court evidence. Since the October 2025 ceasefire, the UN reports 1,493 Palestinians killed in Gaza.
