    These sanctions are a prime example of influence of a foreign nation on the USA policies.

        Foreign nations choose to sign the Rome Statute. Should the rest of the world be prohibited from thinking Netanyahu is a war criminal because it might offend non-signatory countries?

          This is all foreign influence with just a different leverage. One is of sanctions, the other is of in a guise of international laws
