The Biden-battered global order has been flipped on its head under Trump’s return to the White House. Now Washington is preparing a move that could shake the pillars of the United Nations system itself. According to six diplomatic and intelligence sources cited by Reuters, the United States is weighing sweeping “entity sanctions” on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, after its prosecutors moved forward with arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and leaders of Hamas.

A Major Escalation Against the ICC

For years, Washington limited its actions to targeted sanctions against individual ICC judges and prosecutors. But putting the entire ICC on the U.S. sanctions list would represent an unprecedented escalation—blocking the court’s ability to conduct normal banking, pay salaries, or even access basic software to function. Sources confirmed to Reuters that a decision could come as soon as this week.

One U.S. official told reporters, under condition of anonymity, that “entity-wide sanctions” were indeed on the table. A State Department spokesperson accused the court of asserting “purported jurisdiction” over U.S. and Israeli personnel, calling the ICC a direct threat to national security and pledging further steps to “protect our brave service members and allies.”

ICC Scrambles to Prepare

Inside The Hague, panic has set in. Emergency meetings were held by court officials, and diplomats from member states were quietly briefed. Three sources confirmed that ICC staff were paid their salaries for the remainder of 2025 in advance—part of a contingency plan in case their banking channels collapse. Officials are also shopping for alternative banking and software suppliers to maintain operations if Washington pulls the trigger.

The ICC, founded in 2002, has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes if committed by nationals of member states or on their territory. The United States and Israel never joined the court. But in 2015, the ICC recognized “Palestine” as a member—giving it authority, in its view, over alleged Israeli actions in Gaza. Washington and Jerusalem reject this claim outright.

Global Pushback Expected at the UN

Diplomatic sources say the ICC’s 125 member states are preparing to push back against U.S. sanctions at the UN General Assembly in New York this week. But the Trump administration is signaling it won’t back down. “The road of individual sanctions has been exhausted,” a senior diplomat told Reuters. “It is now more about when, rather than if, they will take the next step.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio went further, branding the ICC “a national security threat that has been an instrument for lawfare against the United States and Israel.”

Prophetic and Globalist Implications

This clash isn’t just legal—it’s prophetic. The push to criminalize Israel at the ICC is being driven by the same globalist forces attempting to delegitimize sovereign nations and empower unelected international bodies. In the Bible, Zechariah 12 warns of a day when all nations will gather against Jerusalem. The ICC’s case against Israel looks like a shadow of that prophecy unfolding before our eyes.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s willingness to cripple the ICC underscores a larger struggle: the fight between nationalist governments defending sovereignty and globalist elites using international law as a weapon. If sanctions collapse the court, it could mark the beginning of the end for one of the crown jewels of the globalist project.

Conclusion

The stage is set for a historic showdown. Will Washington make good on its threat and bring the ICC to its knees? And if so, will this embolden other nations to defy globalist institutions that undermine sovereignty? The world is watching as prophecy, politics, and power collide in The Hague.
