Lindsey Graham warns UK of economic sanctions over Netanyahu arrest warrant compliance
Senator Lindsey Graham warned that the US would impose severe economic sanctions on any country, including the UK, that assists in the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This follows an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. The UK government stated it would adhere to its legal obligations regarding the ICC's warrant but did not comment specifically on the situation. The ICC has also issued a warrant for former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant. Graham emphasized that nations aiding the ICC could face significant penalties, including economic repercussions. The UK’s Labour government has decided not to challenge the ICC's warrants, stating it is a matter for the court.
