ALBAWABA- US President Joe Biden has condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) request for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders as "outrageous," according to a White House statement reported by Reuters.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken also criticized the ICC's move, calling it "shameful."
The ICC's chief prosecutor announced on Monday that he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar, Abu Obeidah, and Ismail Haniyeh.
These warrants relate to their actions during the seven-month conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas has denounced the ICC's decision, arguing that it equates the oppressed with the oppressor and insults international laws that allow occupied peoples to resist by all means, including armed resistance.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government has strongly opposed the decision, threatening severe consequences against the ICC.
