This week, our friends at the American Friends Service Committee sued the Trump administration over its efforts to punish and intimidate human rights defenders seeking justice for Palestinians.

The lawsuit is challenging President Trump’s executive order that authorizes sanctions against officials from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and others supporting its work to hold Israeli officials accountable for the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

We applaud AFSC, and all the other groups who joined this lawsuit, for courageously challenging these unjust, immoral, and deeply harmful sanctions against the ICC.

“This executive order seeks to intimidate human rights defenders and deter people of conscience from advocating for the rights and dignity of others,” said AFSC General Secretary Joyce Ajlouny.

“We are joining this lawsuit because we refuse to stay silent when the pursuit of justice is criminalized.”

In the face of continued, grave assaults against the rights, dignity, and lives of Palestinians, our government should use its leverage to hold Israel accountable – not punish others for seeking justice.
