Foreign Minister David Lammy said on Monday that Britain would adhere to the proper legal procedures were Netanyahu to visit the UK, in response to a question about whether London would comply with the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for the Israeli Prime Minister.

Lammy told reporters at a G7 meeting in Italy, "We are signatories to the Rome Statute, we have always been committed to our obligations under international law and international humanitarian law."

"Of course, if there were to be such a visit to the UK, there would be a court process and due process would be followed in relation to those issues."

On the same note, the British government stated on Friday that Netanyahu may be detained on an International Criminal Court arrest order if he travels to the United Kingdom.
