US President Joe Biden has strongly denounced the International Criminal Court prosecutor's decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, calling it "outrageous".
" Let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor may mean, there is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security ," the president wrote.
On the other hand, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US has concerns about the process that led to the application of arrest warrants against senior Israeli leaders.
Israel was informed that they did not board their flight at the same time the prosecutor went on cable television to announce the charges. These and other circumstances call into question the legitimacy and credibility of this investigation ," Blinken said, adding that the US also believed the ICC has no jurisdiction over the matter.
Blinken said the US "fundamentally opposes" ICC prosecutor Karim Khan's announcement today of arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials "along with" Hamas leaders, saying it "could jeopardize" efforts continued efforts to reach a ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas.
" We reject the equivalence of Israel's prosecutor with Hamas. It's embarrassing. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and still holds dozens of innocent people hostage, including Americans. In essence, this decision does nothing to help and could jeopardize ongoing efforts to reach a cease-fire agreement that would release the hostages and increase humanitarian aid, which are goals that the United States continues to pursue relentlessly ," Blinken said. in a statement.
