The White House issued a brief but definitive response to the International Criminal Court’s warrants for Israeli officials, saying it “fundamentally rejects” the decision but ignored addressing the substance of the warrants.

“The United States has been clear that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over this matter. In coordination with partners, including Israel, we are discussing next steps.”

The administration of President Joe Biden has long warned against any such moves by the court after its chief prosecutor Karim Khan announced in May that he would, in fact, be seeking the arrest warrants.

In a statement at the time, Biden called the notion “outrageous”.

      I mean the list of US presidents who supported Israel to the extent Biden did is pretty short.

        Embarrassment is the key word… And besides, there is the next old guy…
