Downing Street refuses to rule out Netanyahu being arrested in the UK

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now faces an international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes during Israel's military operations in Gaza. The ICC's decision to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other leaders, including former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, signifies a bold step in prosecuting alleged war crimes. The ICC's announcement has sparked widespread protests and political backlash in Israel, with many viewing the arrest warrant as an attack on the country's sovereignty. In Gaza, the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen as reports indicate widespread hunger and deteriorating living conditions. Downing Street has been cautious in addressing questions about the potential arrest of Netanyahu should he visit the UK. Attorney General Lord Hermer has emphasized the UK's legal obligations regarding the ICC. Labour MPs have called for stronger action to support the ICC's decision, emphasizing the importance of accountability for alleged war crimes. Amid the political turmoil, the UK government continues to prioritize humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza. Public protests in London have called on the UK government to take a stronger stance on enforcing the ICC's arrest warrants. The ICC warrant has sparked heated debates in Parliament, with opinions sharply divided along party lines.
