International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan stated that the United Kingdom threatened to withdraw funding and leave the court"s founding treaty if it pursued arrest warrants for Israeli officials Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. This information was reported by The Guardian.
Khan revealed that a UK official warned him in April 2024 that issuing warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant would be considered "disproportionate." The comments highlight tensions between the ICC and the UK regarding potential legal actions against Israeli leaders.
This situation follows a broader context of international scrutiny regarding Israel"s actions, as seen in various recent developments. For instance, Iceland has joined the Eurovision 2026 boycott over Israel"s participation, reflecting ongoing global debates about Israel"s policies.
The ICC continues to navigate complex geopolitical landscapes as it addresses allegations of war crimes and other serious offenses.
