The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.

The Biden administration has announced plans to forgive $4.7 billion in loans provided to Ukraine as part of a broader aid package. This move, aimed at supporting Ukraine's financial stability amid the ongoing war with Russia, has sparked debate in the U.S. Congress. While some lawmakers, including Senator Rand Paul, argue against the plan, it aligns with U.S. national interests and NATO's goals. The decision reflects the U.S.'s continued support for Ukraine's economic recovery and defense efforts.

In a devastating pre-dawn strike, Israel targeted a multi-story residential building in central Beirut, Lebanon, resulting in at least 11 deaths and dozens of injuries. The Israeli attack, which used powerful "bunker-busting" bombs, flattened the building, leaving a deep crater and igniting widespread fires in the area.
