Biden Condemns ICC War Crimes Warrant Against Israeli Leaders as ‘Outrageous’
President Joe Biden criticized an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant as ‘outrageous’. The warrants stem from accusations of war crimes during the Israel-Hamas conflict. Biden emphasized US support for Israel, asserting there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Responses from European leaders varied, with some affirming ICC decisions, while others defended Netanyahu. The warrants reflect ongoing tensions and differing international perspectives on the conflict, with potential impacts depending on member states’ actions regarding enforcement.
