Belgium, Slovenia and France each said Monday they backed the decision by International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan, who accused Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, his defence minister and three Hamas leaders of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Support for the warrants from three European Union countries also exposes divisions in the West's approach to Israel.
