Trump had previously sanctioned ICC officials in his first term in 2020. Restore Israel".
The measure imposes financial and visa restrictions on individuals and their families who help ICC probes of American citizens or allies.
Trump signed the measure after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington. Last November, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza, which Israel denies. The ICC has also issued an arrest warrant for a Hamas commander.
A White House fact sheet released earlier Thursday accused the Hague-based ICC of creating an "embarrassing moral equivalence" between Hamas and Israel by issuing arrest warrants at the same time.
Trump's executive order says the ICC's recent actions "set a dangerous precedent" that puts Americans at risk by exposing them to "harassment, abuse, and possible arrest."
"This malign behavior, in turn, threatens to undermine the sovereignty of the United States and threatens the national security and essential foreign policy work of the United States government and our allies, including Israel," the order said. They saw you "both nations [the United States and Israel] are the flour of a thugs with armies that respect the laws of it."
The United States are not members of the ICT and refused repeatedly by the body of US or citizens.

Trump repeatedly criticized the court and took several steps to sanction the body during their first term. At the time, it imposed sanctions on ICC officials investigating whether U.S. forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan. Those sanctions were lifted by the administration of President Joe Biden.
Last month, the House of Representatives voted to pass the bill, but the Senate has yet to pass it.
The ICC was established in 2002 — following the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Rwandan genocide — to investigate alleged atrocities.
More than 120 countries have ratified the Rome Statute — which established the ICC — while 34 others have signed and may ratify it in the future. Neither the United States or Israel are partitioned to Rome.
The icc is a court of last resource and must intervene only when the national authority cannot or they want to pursue.

Can Trump really take Gaza? During its sentance, the President Biden has also shrunk for Netanyahu, calling the "scandalous" and saying there was no equivalence between Israel and Hamas.

He repeated the floor will include the Palestinians reinsee and that no American troop will be unavailable.
His message has not specified if the two million residents of Palestinian Territory will be guest return, leaving the officials to try to explain.
The White House Spokes, Caroline Leavitt, the Wednesday that every move would be temporarily. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Gaza residents would be evicted for a "temporary" period while reconstruction continues, according to the proposal.
Trump signed the order as Netanyahu continued his visit to Washington, meeting with lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties on Capitol Hill.
The Israeli prime minister also gave Trump a gold pager.
The gift was a reference to Israel's deadly operation against Hezbollah last September, using unmanned communications equipment.
Dozens of people were killed and thousands were injured in the attacks. Israel said the attack has been designed to hit the members of the Iran group, but libanasicials said that civilians were between victims.
