The President of the USA, Joe Biden, calls the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against, among others, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, scandalous.
"The ICC's arrest warrant against Israeli leaders is scandalous", he says in a statement.
"Let me be clear again: whatever the ICC may suggest, there is no similarity, none at all, between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security."
