The U.S. and Brussels respond after the ICC verdict. Netanyahu on "violation of natural law"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the global Criminal Court's decision to place him under an arrest warrant "has been met with an encouraging mobilization by many U.S. friends, which shows that this step will have serious consequences for the ICC and those who cooperate with it." "Whatever the ICC rules, there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas," U.S. president Joe Biden said. The head of EU diplomacy said that the arrest warrants issued by the ICC are binding on all European Union associate states.
