US President Joe Biden has condemned the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as “outrageous.” The ICC accuses them of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Biden, in a statement, emphasized there is “no equivalence” between Israel and Hamas, affirming U.S. support for Israel’s security. The White House also rejected the warrants, criticizing the ICC’s process and asserting the court lacks jurisdiction.
