Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant: Arrest Warrants

Asked by Paula BarkerLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 4 December 2024UIN 15525

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will take steps to help ensure the (a) arrest and (b) surrender to the International Criminal Court of (i) Benjamin Netanyahu and (ii) Yoav Gallant.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The issue of enforcing an arrest warrant would only arise if the indicted individual were to visit the UK. There is a domestic legal process set out in the ICC Act 2001 which would be followed in such a situation.
