The US does not recognize such an argument. If that is the argument being made, then no wonder the US issued sanctions; it would perceive such a precedent as a threat to its sovereignty.

Except Netanyahu and Galland are not US citizens. Therefore why is the US so involved in?
Because the US protects Israel pretty much at all costs. For the same reason no one attacks Israel for fear of reprisals from the US.
They don't want the precedent established. Same reason why uninvolved parties in US courts submit "amicus briefs" - the precedent from a case may affect them down the line.
