The president of the United States, Joe Biden, assured this Monday that the Israeli Army’s offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has caused the death of more than 35,500 Palestinians in seven months, “it is not a genocide.” Likewise, he has once again criticized the decision of the Prosecutor’s Office of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to request international arrest warrants against the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant.

Likewise, he insisted once again during the celebration of an event in which “you cannot compare” Israel with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), whose top leaders have also been targeted by this petition.

“We do not believe that they have jurisdiction over any of the parties to this conflict, and that includes Hamas. We “We firmly believe that Hamas must be held accountable.”declared the spokesman for the US State Department, Matthew Miller, during a press conference.

When asked if this accountability would include death, Miller stated that “it could be by death” or that “it could be through an Israeli court.” “We do not believe that the ICC has jurisdiction over any of the parties in this case because the Palestinian people do not represent a state, and that includes the leaders of Hamas,” he added.

The chief prosecutor of the ICC, Karim Khan, has demanded this Monday the issuance of arrest warrants against the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, his Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, and several senior officials of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity following the October 7 attacks by the group and the subsequent offensive against the Gaza Strip.
