Britain must arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if the International Criminal Court approves a warrant for him, Sir Alan Duncan has told LBC.
The former Tory foreign office minister insisted that Britain cannot dodge such a ruling if judges approve it.Britain is a signatory of the International Criminal Court, which has sought arrest warrants for the Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders.It would mean authorities would be under a duty to arrest him if he set foot on British soil.But Communities Secretary Michael Gove and Rishi Sunak have dismissed the calls.
"Both are deserving of arrest warrants for doing different things."And he suggested his attack on the ICC was a "breach of collective responsibility".Sir Alan also hit out at Mr Gove for his speech on anti-semitism earlier today - accusing him of "stirring things up" and attacking him for comparing the rise in incidents to the Nazis.He also suggested that the number of anti-semitic incidents could be exaggerated.
