One US official said entity-wide sanctions were under consideration, though no final decision has been announced. Emergency meetings were held among court officials and with diplomats from member states to assess the potential impact. The ICC was established in 2002 under the Rome Statute to prosecute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court recognizes Palestine as a member, which it says grants jurisdiction over alleged crimes committed in Gaza. In February, Washington also sanctioned the ICC's lead prosecutor Karim Khan after he sought arrest warrants against Israeli officials.
