We stand with Israel to take out Sinwar and the rest of the butchers of Hamas. And consistent with Jewish values and compassion, kindness and dignity and human life, my team also is providing critical humanitarian assistance to help innocent Palestinian civilians who are suffering greatly because of the war Hamas, Hamas has unleashed. We reject the I.C.C.’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.

Contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice, what’s happening is not genocide.
