UK reportedly set to withdraw objections to ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu: Report

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to withdraw objections to the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor’s pursuit of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, according to two individuals briefed on the government's deliberations, reported the New York Times.

Earlier this month it was reported that Britain would not withdraw its objection to the ICC prosecutor's application for arrest warrants, after promising it would do so.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv said British Foreign Secretary David Lammy had given assurances that the UK will maintain its objection to the application that was initially raised by the former Conservative government in Downing Street.
