UK: ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants against Netanyahu, Gallant ‘not helpful’

LONDON — The ICC prosecutor’s decision to request an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is unhelpful, a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says.

“This action is not helpful in relation to reaching a pause in the fighting, getting hostages out or getting humanitarian aid in,” the spokesperson says, referring to a decision made by the ICC’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan earlier today.
