The UK government stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be arrested if he visits the country, following an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant issued for him and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. The warrants are based on allegations of war crimes in Gaza. Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris confirmed that Netanyahu would be detained if he arrived in Ireland, emphasizing the country's commitment to international law. Relations between Ireland and Israel have worsened since Ireland recognized the Palestinian state last May. Iran's Revolutionary Guards called the ICC warrant a significant blow to Israel, while China urged the ICC to maintain fairness in its actions. Both countries reacted to the warrants, highlighting the international implications of the situation.
