The repercussions of the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision regarding Benjamin Netanyahu continue.
On Thursday, the ICC in The Hague issued a decision accepting the request of the court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on suspicion of committing crimes against humanity.
This marks the first time an international arrest warrant has been issued for Israeli officials.
Many countries have announced that they would enforce the arrest warrant should Netanyahu visit.
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy also responded to a question on the subject today at the G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting held in Italy.
Lammy said, "If there were such a visit to the United Kingdom, there would be a court process and the necessary process would be followed regarding these matters."
Meanwhile, reactions have begun to rise in England following the ICC's decision.
Posters of Netanyahu featuring the word "Wanted" have been hung on walls in the streets of England.
