JERUSALEM (AP) — "The chief prosecutor of the world’s top war crimes court sought arrest warrants Monday for leaders of Israel and Hamas, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over actions taken during their seven-month war.
"While Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, do not face imminent arrest, the announcement by the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor was a symbolic blow that deepened Israel’s isolation over the war in Gaza.
"The court’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, accused Netanyahu, Gallant, and three Hamas leaders — Yehia Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh — of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel.
"Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders condemned the move as disgraceful and antisemitic. U.S. President Joe Biden also lambasted the prosecutor and supported Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas."

I see Biden has suddenly defended Israel, but I don't believe a word he says now.
As for the court, they must be out of their minds to equate Israel with Hamas! Retaliation for the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7 is not the same as the massacre itself! Since when is defending yourself a crime? And Israel has been careful -- TOO careful -- in its fight.
This would be like the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg finding Americans as guilty as the Nazis for genocide and crimes against the Jews.
Is this yet another example of what "equity" and "inclusion" has done? If you find Hamas guilty, you must blame Israel too?
Nobody except Jew-haters will find this decision acceptable.
