UK lawyers seek sanctions against Netanyahu in Israel-Palestine conflict.

An Arab human rights NGO, AOHR UK, has requested UK sanctions against Israeli PM Netanyahu for inciting violence and genocide against Palestinians. The submission cites Netanyahu’s rejection of a Palestinian state and genocidal rhetoric as grounds for sanctions, highlighting his role in unlawful military operations and illegal settlements in the West Bank. The UK government, which has previously sanctioned Israeli officials for human rights abuses, is urged to hold Netanyahu accountable for his actions, including during the war on Gaza. Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister face arrest warrants from the ICC for crimes against humanity and war crimes, while Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice.
