The Pentagon has stated that it 'fundamentally rejects' the International Criminal Court's decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC charged the two officials with 'crimes against humanity and war crimes.' President Biden criticized the court's decision and emphasized that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the ICC's actions, arguing that they ignore Hamas' use of human shields and the terror attacks that initiated the war. Israel made efforts to block the ICC from approving the arrest warrants, but they were unsuccessful.
