Government told it must back ICC actions against Israeli war crimes
MPs from across the political spectrum told the government today that it must back the International Criminal Court in its actions against Israeli war crimes.
In a letter to Foreign Secretary David Cameron, more than 100 parliamentarians — MPs and peers — urged “the UK government to do all it can to support the International Criminal Court” in its work.
The letter, organised by Labour MPs Richard Burgon and Imran Hussain, came as the government continued to dismiss the decision of the court’s chief prosecutor to seek arrest warrants for Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leaders.
