Published May 20, 2024 1:43pm ET



President Joe Biden blasted the “outrageous” decision by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to file arrest warrant applications for senior Israeli officials such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

“The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous,” Biden said in a statement Monday. “And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.”
