In a significant diplomatic move, Spain has urged the European Commission to activate the EU’s blocking statute against US sanctions on the International Criminal Court. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Europe cannot stay silent, emphasizing the need to protect institutions from external influence. The US imposed sanctions after ICC actions related to Israel’s Gaza campaign, sparking international debate. If enforced, the EU’s blocking law would prevent compliance with US measures, raising the risk of a broader legal and economic confrontation. The development highlights growing strain between Western allies.
