Rubio Threatens ICC in The Hague: 'We Will Put an End to the Court'

Following the imposition of US sanctions on the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Rubio issued a sharp warning against the institution. According to a report by ynet, Rubio threatened that "either they stop threatening — or we will put an end to the court," referring to the body that issued an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

At the same time, Portfolio.hu reported that the move is likely to spark severe diplomatic tensions between Washington and its European allies. The sanctions decision came just hours after former ICC judge Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Further details regarding the ramifications of the warning and additional diplomatic responses have not yet been released.
