My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. American President Joe Biden described the decision of the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the following terms:

The ICC issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. Let me be clear once again: whatever the ICC might imply, there is no equivalence—none—between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.

Does the Prime Minister agree with our ally President Biden's very strong stance in support of our other democratic ally, Israel?
