The Facts
The UK has dropped its objection to the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
In May, Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the ICC, applied for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant as well as Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, and Mohammed Deif on suspicion of war crimes.
