LONDON: The UK’s new government must abandon the country’s legal challenge to the International Criminal Court’s call for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, Human Rights Watch said. Rishi Sunak, the former UK prime minister, challenged the court’s issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant earlier this year. Karim Khan, the ICC’s chief prosecutor, said there was a credible case that the two leaders could be held accountable for crimes against humanity, The Guardian reported on Friday.
