Taking sides with the crimes of the Zionist regime, he added: We will not tolerate the abuse of the International Criminal Court’s position and the wrong targeting of Americans and Israelis.

In response to this action, the International Criminal Court announced that it strongly rejects and condemns the new US sanctions against its two judges.
