Statement on the International Criminal Court Arrest Warrant Applications for Senior Israeli Officials
May 20, 2024
The ICC Prosecutor's application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this Prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence—none—between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.
NOTE: The statement referred to International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan; and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant of Israel.
