The ICC judges Kimberly Prost and Nicolas Guillou, as well as ICC deputy prosecutors Nazhat Shameem Khan and Mame Mandiaye Niang, were sanctioned.
"These individuals are foreigners who have directly participated in the International Criminal Court's efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute US or Israeli citizens without the consent of those states," the US State Department statement said.
"Washington views the ICC's activities as politicized, abusive of power, and threatening to the national security of the United States and Israel," Rubio said.
The sanctions are imposed under an executive order by President Donald Trump.
