The federal treasurer says there is 'no equivalence' between the actions of Hamas and Israel's president, after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese avoided saying so yesterday.

Jim Chalmers says the actions of Israel and Hamas are not equivalent, after the prime minister avoided saying so yesterday.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said Mr Albanese "squibbed" his response yesterday to an International Criminal Court prosecutor's demand for arrest warrants to be issued for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leadership of terrorist organisation Hamas. Why is the ICC seeking warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, hasn't this already happened and who is involved?

"There is no equivalence between Hamas the terrorist organisation and Israel, we have made it really clear in condemning the actions of Hamas on October 7, we have made it very clear we want to see hostages released, and we want to see the Israeli response comply completely with international humanitarian law," Mr Chalmers said.
