New UK Foreign Secretary Lammy backing arrest of Netanyahu?
'Britain’s newly appointed Foreign Secretary David Lammy reiterated his support Friday for international efforts to secure an “immediate ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war and for the release of remaining hostages.
Lammy, 51, said he would “get to work with tireless diplomacy” toward those twin aims, in his first comments after becoming the country’s top diplomat.'
'Speaking in the parliament on May 20, Lammy supported the possible arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant should the International Criminal Court (ICC) issue a warrant.
Lammy declared that the UK and all governments that have signed up to the Rome Statute underpinning the ICC “have a legal obligation” to comply with its warrants and “Democracies who believe in the rule of law must submit themselves to it.”'
