Labour's shadow Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, has stated that the UK would comply with an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if it is issued. Lammy emphasized that as a signatory to the Rome Statute, the UK is legally obligated to enforce such a warrant. This stance aligns with Labour's commitment to uphold international law and respect decisions made by the ICC. Despite some interpretations suggesting otherwise, Lammy reiterated Labour's position clearly during a recent interview.
