The Home Secretary took to the airwaves this morning in an attempt to douse the flames of the Prime Minister’s comments, regarding the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yvette Cooper effectively refused to comment, saying that it was unlikely that the Israeli Prime Minister would be arrested in the UK, stressing that the “overwhelming” majority of rulings by the International Criminal Court do not turn into issues for the British law enforcement system. This was in stark contrast to Keir Starmer, at least in tone, who hours earlier had said that the UK would respect the ICC’s warrant.
