Trump ally warns of repercussions

A leading Trump ally has issued a warning to Sir Keir Starmer, suggesting there will be "hell to pay" if the UK helps arrest Benjamin Netanyahu following a war crimes warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.

UK's stance on the ICC ruling

Downing Street declared that Sir Keir Starmer respects the independence of the ICC, leaving the final decision to domestic courts on whether Britain will endorse the arrest warrant for the Israeli leader.

France refused to confirm they would arrest Netanyahu, while senior Trump allies expressed fury over the ICC judgement, with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threatening consequences for countries that support the court's actions.
