Russia says United States is being hypocritical over ICC and Israel

Hindustan Times  

MOSCOW, - Russia said on Tuesday that the United States was being hypocritical by opposing the International Criminal Court's investigation of Israel but supporting the court's warrant for the arrest of President Vladimir Putin. Russia says United States is being hypocritical over ICC and Israel The ICC - which can charge individuals with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide - is investigating Hamas' Oct. 7 cross-border attack and Israel's devastating military assault on Hamas-ruled Gaza, now in its seventh month. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday the United States did not support the ICC's investigation of Israel and did not believe that the court had jurisdiction. Russia says the warrant against Putin is a meaningless attempt by the West to soil Russia's reputation and denies war crimes in Ukraine.
