The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) acknowledges the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for their roles in war crimes against the Palestinian people.

While this action is a step towards accountability, the ICC’s delayed response underscores the painful reality that justice for Palestinians is often pursued only under immense international pressure. This raises serious questions about the Court's impartiality and its commitment to upholding international law.

In response to these warrants, MAB calls on the UK government to demonstrate a commitment to international justice by taking immediate action:

1. Commit to Enforcing ICC Warrants: The UK government must commit to enforcing the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant should they enter the UK, in line with its previously stated support for the Court’s independence and its obligation to respect ICC decisions.

2. End Complicity: The UK must immediately suspend arms sales, military support, and trade deals with Israel, and impose sanctions.

The UK must now stand on the right side of international law, holding Israeli leaders accountable for their crimes and ending its complicity in their actions.
