  • Lord Wolfson says Britain would be in breach of international law if it sought to enact ICC arrest warrant for Israeli leader

The article from The Telegraph discusses the legal and political implications of potentially arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to visit the UK. It highlights that arresting Netanyahu would be considered unlawful by UK authorities due to his position as a head of state, which grants him immunity under international law. The piece mentions warnings from legal experts and government officials that such an action could severely damage diplomatic relations with Israel and set a problematic precedent for international diplomacy. Furthermore, it touches on the ongoing tensions between Israel and the UK, particularly in light of recent events in the Middle East, and the complexities of international law regarding the arrest of sitting leaders. The article also notes that while there are calls from various groups for Netanyahu's arrest over alleged war crimes, the practical and legal barriers make this highly unlikely.
