On Tuesday, the US President Joe Biden dismissed suggestions that Israel’s military operation in Gaza amounts to genocide and at the same time supported an important American ally in the face of numerous international legal threats.
He made these remarks during his speech on Monday at a White House event commemorating Jewish American Heritage Month which was focusing on a case before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, claiming that Israeli actions amount to Genocide. “We reject that; it is not what’s happening” said Biden.
Moreover, he also objected to the request by the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court for an arrest warrant against Israeli leaders on Monday.
