The US has imposed sanctions on the ICC five times, including two European judges and three Palestinian NGOs.

Omissions

• The exact number of separate US sanction 'rounds' is imprecise: identifiable actions include February 2025 (Prosecutor Khan / executive order), June 2025 (four judges), August 2025 (two deputy prosecutors), September 2025 (three Palestinian NGOs), and further judge designations in December 2025 and October 2026 — which could be counted as six rather than five by the 20 October 2026 session date.
• The French judge's name is Nicolas Guillou, not 'Guillot' as stated by the MEP (minor spelling error, not a substantive error).
• The claim attributes 'five strikes' loosely to 'the prosecutor, his deputies, judges'; in reality the September 2025 action targeted three Palestinian NGOs (Al-Haq, Al Mezan, PCHR), a distinct category from officials.
• Sources confirming the specific designations are official US State Department releases and independent reporting; the aggregate count of 'five times' is inferred from combining these individual actions rather than stated verbatim in a single source.
