The new UK government, led by the Labour party, is reportedly expected to back away from the last government’s objections to the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s request for an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Gaza.

Citing “two people briefed on the government’s deliberations,” the New York Times reports that the decision by new UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is likely to come by the end of this week.

Last week London announced that it will resume funding to the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA after the government under Rishi Sunak had frozen it in the wake of Israeli allegations that agency staffers took part in Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
