Netanyahu refuses to meet UK Foreign Secretary over ICC support
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to meet with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, despite numerous requests from London, over Britain's decision to withdraw its objections to the International Criminal Court, according to Israel's Channel 13.
Israeli Channel 13 reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to meet with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who arrived in Israel on Friday. Netanyahu's decision was unexpected and raised eyebrows given the British government's repeated requests for the meeting.
The reason for the refusal was the UK's recent decision to withdraw its objections to the International Criminal Court (ICC). This decision apparently angered Netanyahu, which is why he refused to meet with the British Foreign Secretary.
The incident highlights the strained diplomatic relations between the two countries amid disagreements over international law and politics. The UK's decision on the ICC is seen as an important step in the international legal system, but it has provoked a sharp reaction in Israel, leading to diplomatic tensions.
This case could become a starting point for further diplomatic disagreements between Israel and the UK, especially in light of the current international situation and the active work of the International Criminal Court.
