Lindsey Graham warns UK of economic penalties if it aids ICC in arresting Netanyahu

Senator Lindsey Graham warned UK leader Keir Starmer that the US will impose severe economic penalties if the UK assists in the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This follows an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. Graham stated that any nation aiding the ICC's efforts against Israeli leaders could face sanctions from the US. He emphasized that the US would respond firmly to any compliance with the ICC's warrant. The UK government has not commented directly on the situation but stated it would adhere to legal obligations. The ICC has also issued a warrant for Israel's former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, over alleged war crimes.
