Downing Street is on alert regarding a potential ICC arrest warrant for Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, fearing significant political implications amid current Middle East tensions.
The urgent request for arrest warrants, which include Netanyahu and Hamas leaders, could trigger a major political crisis if the ICC moves forward with its decision.
Concerns arise in the Foreign Office about the sustainability of the UK's position, particularly as the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps remains unsanctioned in the UK.
The ICC's pre-trial chamber has taken longer than expected to issue a decision, in contrast to the rapid action taken regarding the arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.
