Netanyahu’s UK Visit: Arrest Looms, International Fallout Looms
Following the International Criminal Court’s issuance of an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant on war crimes charges, No. 10 indicated that the UK government would uphold its legal obligations under the International Criminal Court Act 2001. This means that should Netanyahu enter the UK, he would face arrest. The government’s commitment to fulfilling its legal obligations under both domestic and international law was emphasized. While declining to comment on hypotheticals, the spokesperson affirmed the importance of maintaining dialogue with Israel.
