UK attorney general visits Israel to discuss Labour Gaza policy

The UK’s attorney general visited Israel this week to discuss the British government’s new policies regarding Gaza, according to The National newspaper.

The National report said Richard Hermer will notify the Israeli government that the UK, under the Labour administration, will drop the former Conservative government’s objection to an arrest warrant being issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The discussions with high-ranking Israeli officials come as the UK is also expected to introduce restrictions on arms sales to Israel, as reported by Middle East Eye.
