Biden's response to ICC findings on Israel's actions in Gaza faces criticism
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has found reasonable grounds to believe that Israel's actions in Gaza may violate humanitarian law. This includes allegations of starving civilians and obstructing aid, which are not justified under international law. President Joe Biden's response to these allegations has been criticized for missing the core issues of international law. The ICC's findings do not imply guilt but indicate that there is a case for legal examination. Israel argues that it has provided significant aid to Gaza and claims Hamas misuses this support. However, both Israel and the U.S. contend that the ICC lacks jurisdiction over Israel's actions in Palestine, which complicates the legal proceedings.
