Netanyahu dispatched an envoy to France on Tuesday in an attempt to shore up backing. France was among multiple European allies standing behind the ICC.

"France supports the International Criminal Court, its independence and the fight against impunity in all situations," the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Belgium Foreign Affairs Minister Hadja Lahbib called the warrants an important step in the investigation, saying "crimes committed in Gaza must be prosecuted at the highest level, regardless of the perpetrators." Slovenia's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs issued a statement saying war crimes in Israel and in Gaza must be prosecuted "independently and impartially regardless of the perpetrators."

Biden, however, railed against the Israeli warrants as outrageous and reiterated firm U.S. support for Israel in the war. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, former president of the European Council, on Tuesday agreed with Biden that "an attempt to show that the prime minister of Israel and the leaders of a terrorist organizations are the same ... is unacceptable."
