Home Sec Yvette Cooper refuses to comment on Benjamin Netanyahu's potential arrest. The Home Secretary declined to comment on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's potential arrest after an arrest warrant was issued for the Israeli leader.
The United States will 'crush' the UK economy if Britain helps arrest Benjamin Netanyahu , following an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court .
A spokesperson for No10 refused to comment on the specific case, but said this week the government would hypothetically fulfil its 'legal obligations'. 'What they're doing in Israel is trying to prevent a second Holocaust. So, to any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we're gonna sanction you,' the South Carolina senator added.
Human Rights Watch assessed in April that 'children in Gaza have been dying from starvation-related complications since the Israeli government began using starvation as a weapon of war, a war crime'. The ruling has been controversial and split western leaders. Some have outright said they would not abide by their legal obligation to make an arrest.
The ICC warrant would, nevertheless, need to be ratified by a UK court before it becomes valid, it is understood. Several governments have already expressed caution, while others - including the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Spain and Austria - have insisted they respect the court and will follow the law, however much they may disagree with it.
He did not specify what those questions entailed and did not answer when asked whether Netanyahu would be welcome in Germany. Palestinians watch smoke rising during an Israeli airstrike on the Al Farouq Mosque in the Al Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, 23 November 2024
