You honestly have to thank the Tories for setting the bar so low, that obeying the rule of law is seen as an achievement.
This is a fantastic position from Labour and I hope every party backs it. The best case for international peace for people let Netanyahu to be arrested and tried in an international court instead of a sham trial in their country, like Pol Pot or just flee to the US or Russia
Are we supposed to obey it or not? Little point in being in it otherwise
Does anyone know when Netanyahu last visited the UK? He’s scheduled to visit the United States next month and address their Congress. I imagine that he’ll limit his foreign trips to friendly states that can actually exert influence over the war in Gaza for the remainder of his premiership.
On a completely unrelated note, seems Mr Lammy won’t be Foreign Secretary after all:

Nothing to see here folks, move along now…
As they should. What Israel is doing is abhorrent, no matter what Hamas has done. Israel retaliated, has killed countless innocent bystanders, and has made Gaza a humanitarian crisis that will take years to fix. Nethanyahu is a war criminal and has committed genocide of the Palestinian people. He deserves to be tried for his actions.
Really a lot less important than stopping our support of Isreal entirely.
Let’s just stop wasting time and get Corbyn back in
The ICC has about as much power as the international cricket council
There has not even been an arrest warrant issued yet, is this not a little premature, particularly given that we are currently interfering with the process, potentially in an attempt to delay it?

I guess it sends an important message though.
I hope someday. A random country fire missile every day to UK. I would like to see Muslim terrorist apologized comments. It’s ok to attack and fire missile every days to Israel and expect Israel do nothing.
