REVEALED: 'Shameless' Amal Clooney masterminded war crimes charges against Netanyahu along with Hamas leaders in 'outrageous' move condemned by White House

The White House has slammed the International Criminal Court for issuing arrest warrants for Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas' leader Yahya Sinwar over alleged war crimes.

It comes as DailyMail.com reported that Amal Clooney played a key role in the ICC's move against Netanyahu. 

Clooney, a renowned human rights lawyer, was named as one of the six legal experts who helped British prosecutor Karim Khan come to the decision, announced on Monday, to seek warrants for Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas leaders.

She added in a statement on her foundation's website: 'As a human rights lawyer, I will never accept that one child's life has less value than another's. I do not accept that any conflict should be beyond the reach of the law, nor that any perpetrator should be above the law.' 

But on Monday, President Joe Biden described the move as 'outrageous' as he said there is 'no equivalence' between Israel and Hamas.

'The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security,' the Democrat said in a statement. 

There was more criticism against the ICC from the White House, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday also denounced the ICC's action as 'shameful,' rejecting the court's authority and saying the move put ceasefire efforts at risk.

'We reject the prosecutor's equivalence of Israel with Hamas. It is shameful,' Blinken said in a statement.

Clooney, who is married to Hollywood legend George Clooney, revealed that she had been asked to help Khan evaluate the evidence of alleged war crimes in Gaza and Israel four months ago.

She had faced months of backlash from her critics and fans alike for not speaking out about the deadly war in Gaza that has so far killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, at least half of them women and children, according to the latest estimates by Hamas-controlled Gaza health officials.

In an interview on Monday, Khan said the warrants are for war crimes and crimes against humanity over the Hamas terror group's deadly October 7 attack on Israel and Israel 's subsequent war in the Gaza Strip.

He said warrants were being sought for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri (aka Mohammed Deif), the leader of the Al Qassem Brigades - Hamas' military wing, and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' political leader.

Khan told CNN that the charges against the trio include 'extermination, murder, taking of hostages, rape and sexual assault in detention.'

Speaking of Israel's actions, Khan said in a statement that 'the effects of the use of starvation as a method of warfare, together with other attacks and collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza are acute, visible and widely known.

'They include malnutrition, dehydration, profound suffering and an increasing number of deaths among the Palestinian population, including babies, other children, and women,' he added.

Meanwhile, Israel lashed out at the ICC over the warrants for its two officials.

An Israeli official slammed the ICC's move as a 'baseless blood libel' against the country, while s President Isaac Herzog called the move 'outragious,' saying it 'cannot be accepted by anyone'.

'[The] ICC prosecutor's baseless blood libel against Israel has crossed a red line in his lawfare efforts against the lone Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East,' the official said, according to the Financial Times.

'The blood libel will not deter Israel from defending itself and accomplishing all its just war objectives' in Gaza, the official added.

Hamas also responded to the news.

'Hamas strongly denounces the attempts of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to equate the victim with the executioner by issuing arrest warrants against a number of Palestinian resistance leaders,' the terror group said.

'Hamas... demands the cancellation of all arrest warrants issued against leaders of the Palestinian resistance, for violating UN conventions and resolutions.'
