UK will follow ‘due process’ if Netanyahu visits

Britain would follow “due process” if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the country, David Lammy, the U.K. foreign secretary, told a reporter on Monday at a G7 meeting in Italy.

“We are signatories to the Rome Statute,” the secretary said. “We have always been committed to our obligations under international law and international humanitarian law.”

“If there were to be such a visit to the U.K., there would be a court process and due process would be followed in relation to those issues,” he said.

The International Criminal Court, a stand-alone judicial body in The Hague which is not part of the United Nations, issued warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former defense minister, for alleged “war crimes.”
