A majority in the UK, Italy and Spain support the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant application against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alongside a plurality in several other European countries and the US, according to a new poll.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan announced in May that he was applying for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, alongside three senior Hamas officials: Ismail Haniyeh, Mohammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar.
On Monday, YouGov published a poll in which it asked the public in several countries if it supported the arrest warrants for each Israeli and Hamas leader named by Khan.
A majority of 57 percent in Italy and Spain, and 54 percent in the UK, said they supported the arrest warrant targeting Netanyahu. No higher than 15 percent in those countries said they did not support it.
A plurality in France, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the US also said that they backed the arrest warrant. ….more
