Amal Clooney could be barred from entering the United States — where she lives with her Oscar-winning husband, George, and their daughters — for her role in influencing the International Criminal Court to charge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with war crimes in Gaza.
Trump, 78, ordered ICC officials, employees and their immediate family members to be hit with financial penalties and visa restrictions after he sanctioned the ICC over the “baseless” warrants in an executive order signed in February.
If Clooney, an accomplished Lebanese British human rights lawyer who is a British citizen, is targeted next, the 47-year-old faces banishment from entering the country where she lives with George, whom she married in September 2014, and their 7-year-old twin daughters.
Clooney played an instrumental role in the decision to prosecute Netanyahu and Gallant after she was asked by the ICC last year to join a panel of international legal experts to evaluate evidence of suspected war crimes in Israel and Gaza.
