‘Whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence—none—between Israel and Hamas,’ said a State Department spokesperson.

The United States has condemned the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its issuance of arrest warrants on Nov. 21 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant regarding their actions in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

“The United States fundamentally rejects the Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials,” a State Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.
