Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces arrest if he travels to the UK, after an international arrest warrant was issued for him, Downing Street has indicated.
A No 10 spokesman refused to comment on the specific case but said the government would fulfil its “legal obligations”.
On Thursday the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, along with Israel’s former defence minister Yoav Gallant, over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The court’s member countries, including the UK, have signed a treaty that obliges them to act on arrest warrants.

Oh well problem solved then. You know since he’s always coming to the UK, he’ll probably turn up to watch the Blackpool illuminations.

Maybe he will if the A-Team sets up a float at the parade covered with a big Palestinian flag and unbombed children riding it, except the children are actually B.A. and Face in disguise.
