When asked if that same logic applies to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is also the subject of an ICC warrant, Tajani said the situations were different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to be very pragmatic because when something in theory isn\u2019t applicable, it runs the risk of being just a political message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The G7 meeting of foreign ministers, the last of the Biden administration, was dominated by the wars in Gaza and Lebanon. Ministers were heartened by indications that a ceasefire might soon be announced between Israel and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said a deal would also improve prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause one of the things that Hamas has sought from Day One is to get others in on the fight to create multiple fronts, to make sure that Israel is having to fight in a whole series of different places,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd as long as it\u2019s thought that that was possible, that\u2019s one of the reasons it\u2019s held back from doing what\u2019s necessary to end the conflict.
