US President Joe Biden spoke at an event held at the White House for "Jewish American Heritage Month."
"Let me be clear, contrary to the International Court of Justice's allegations regarding Israel, what is happening (in Gaza) is not genocide. We do not accept this," said Biden, adding that they also reject the application by International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan for an "arrest warrant" for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Biden stated that there is no question of equating Israel with Hamas.
