Russia criticized the US for opposing the International Criminal Court's (ICC) investigation into Israel's actions in Gaza but supporting the court's warrant for Putin's arrest.
The ICC is investigating Hamas' attack on Israel and Israel's military response in Gaza.
The US has stated it does not support the ICC's investigation into Israel and does not believe the court has jurisdiction.
Last year, US President
Joe Biden expressed support for the ICC's decision to issue a warrant for Putin's arrest.
The United States has provided evidence of alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Russia denies these accusations and views the warrant against President Putin as an attempt by the West to harm Russia's reputation.
Ukraine also accuses Russia of committing war crimes, while Russia alleges that the West has ignored Ukraine's own crimes.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, stated that the US supported the issuance of warrants against Russian leadership but does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction over itself and its allies.
The Kremlin has criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing a warrant for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes in Ukraine, calling it legally void since Russia is not a signatory to the treaty that created the ICC.
Israel, which is not a member of the ICC, also faces potential arrest warrants for its leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over alleged violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
The ICC is reportedly considering warrants for leaders from Hamas as well.
Netanyahu stated that any ICC decisions would not impact Israel's actions but could set a dangerous precedent.
Israeli officials are concerned about the potential consequences for their own leaders.
