LONDON June 29. 2024 (Saba) - An intervention by the UK government at the international criminal court is expected to delay a decision over whether an arrest warrant can be issued against the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for alleged war crimes in Gaza, The Guardian said on Friday.

Judges at the ICC ruled on Thursday they would allow the UK to make legal arguments in the case as they consider whether to approve requests made by the ICC’s chief prosecutor for warrants against Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, the UK paper added.

According to court papers, after the prosecutor made the requests the UK argued that the judges hearing the case must address "outstanding" questions about the ICC's jurisdiction over Israeli citizens before deciding whether to issue the warrants.

The decision to allow the UK to submit arguments in the case has caused concern among some international law experts that Britain's intervention is politically motivated and an attempt to reopen legal issues many argue have previously been settled, according to The Guardian.
