# The US State Department has announced new sanctions on four International Criminal Court officials, including two judges and two prosecutors. The department claims the officials have been instrumental in efforts to prosecute Americans and Israelis. Any assets that the officials hold in US jurisdictions are now frozen. The new penalties target judges Kimberly Prost and Nicolas Guillou, as well as prosecutors Nazhat Shameem Khan and Mame Mandiaye Niang. Guillou oversaw a pre-trial panel that issued the arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
