The White House announced that the United States fundamentally rejects the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, calling the decision 'unfounded'. A National Security Council spokesperson stated that President Biden is deeply concerned about the prosecutor's rush to seek arrest warrants and emphasized that the ICC has no jurisdiction. The US is coordinating with partners, including Israel, to discuss next steps and is examining its response to the court's decision.
