A No 10 spokesman refused to comment on the specific case but said the government would fulfil its “legal obligations”.
On Thursday the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, along with Israel’s former defence minister Yoav Gallant, over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The court’s member countries, including the UK, have signed a treaty that obliges them to act on arrest warrants. bbc.com
