Netherlands is potential target of US sanctions law against International Criminal Court | De Volkskrant |

Anyone who cooperates with the International Criminal Court could be hit with sanctions, according to a new US law. Dutch officials of justice and police are also at risk.

Dutch law enforcement officials are at particular risk of being hit by a sanctions bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill would allow the U.S. to impose sanctions on anyone who cooperates in the "investigation, arrest, detention, or prosecution" of U.S. citizens or U.S. allies, such as Israel, at the request of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act is a response to the arrest warrant the court has issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip. However, the law is not limited to that. Sanctions are also possible against anyone who cooperates in criminal cases against authoritarian regimes with whom the US is on good terms, such as those in the Gulf States, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan and the Philippines.

The officials also said that pressure and threats from incoming US President-elect Donald Trump had helped bring Hamas to the table, and they stressed that Israel was working with both teams, including Biden envoy Brett McGurk and Trump official Steve Witkoff, and that the administrations were also coordinating with each other.

The officials said that IDF troops would remain in a new buffer zone inside Gaza to better defend Israeli border communities. Israel will not completely withdraw from Gaza until the war's goals are achieved, among them the return of all the hostages.

A deal to end the Gaza war is "closer than it's ever been," the official said, adding that US envoys Witkoff and McGurk, along with Mossad chief David Barnea and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, were expected to attend.

Talks advanced after `tense' meeting between Netanyahu, Trump envoy

Two officials familiar with the latest ceasefire push told The Times of Israel on Monday that Trump's Mideast envoy held a "tense" meeting with Netanyahu on Saturday, during which the former leaned hard on the Israeli premier to accept compromises necessary to secure a hostage deal by the January 20 US presidential inauguration.
