WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Joe Biden said during a press conference that despite the ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, Israel is not carrying out genocide in Gaza.
"Israel must do all it can to ensure civilian protection, but let me be clear, contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Criminal Court of Justice, what's happening is not genocide, we reject that," Biden said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that he had filed requests for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as for the leader of the Palestinian movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ military wing head Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Masri and Hamas political bureau head Ismail Haniyeh.
