US President Joe Biden has strongly defended Israel on allegations of genocide in Gaza. He said the Israeli military is not committing genocide in its campaign against Hamas in Gaza. 

QMeanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has gone to France.

He will talk to France on the issue of the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court's demand for arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister and Hamas leaders and try to convince it. 

Apart from France, Israel's important ally, Belgium and Slovenia have supported this demand of the Chief Prosecutor.

"What is happening in Gaza is not genocide,” the US President said at an event for Jewish Americans at the White House on Monday. We reject it. We stand with Israel to expel Sinwar (Hamas leader Yehia Sinwar) and the rest of the butchers of Hamas. We want to see Hamas defeated. We are working with Israel for this.

Along with this, Biden also demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. 

He also rejected the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor's demand for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and the defense minister over the Gaza war. Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan on Monday asked the International Criminal Court for arrest warrants against the Israeli leaders as well as three Hamas leaders (Yehia Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh).

Let us tell you that so far 35647 Palestinians have died in Israel's military operation against Hamas in Gaza. Meanwhile, 569 tons of aid material has been delivered to Gaza by America. 

The Israeli army conducted a raid in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. Seven Palestinians including a doctor were killed in this.

The army said that terrorists were encountered during the operation in Jenin city. While the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group said its members clashed with Israeli forces. This is being said to be a major action in the West Bank after the conflict in Gaza started seven months ago.

Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed to have shot down another American drone on Tuesday. However, no statement has yet come from the American Army on this. If confirmed, this would be the second MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down by the Houthis in a week. Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed to have shot down a drone in Yemen's southern province of Bayda.
