The United States has warned that it will impose economic consequences on the UK if Britain helps arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). Republican Senator Lindsey Graham stated that any nation or organization that aids the ICC's ruling could expect resistance from the US. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, citing alleged war crimes in Gaza. The warrant has split western leaders, with some refusing to abide by their legal obligation to make an arrest.
