Israel-Gaza-Lebanon updates: Rabbi missing in UAE found dead, Israel says

More health workers, patients killed proportionally in Lebanon than anywhere else

The World Health Organization said Friday that more health workers and patients have been killed proportionally in Lebanon than anywhere else in the world over the past year, including Gaza and Ukraine.

Data shows that 47% of attacks on health care have proven fatal to at least one health worker or patient in Lebanon since Oct. 7, 2023. This is a higher percentage than in any active conflict today across the globe, with nearly half of all attacks on health causing the death of a health worker, according to the WHO.

The White House said it rejects the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials, saying the U.S. is working with its partners on steps that could include possible sanctions against the court.

"Let me just say more broadly that we fundamentally reject the court's decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israel officials. We remain deeply concerned by the prosecutors’ rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Thursday.

"The United States has been clear that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over this matter," Jean-Pierre said.
