Israeli PM declines meeting with UK top diplomat Over ICC arrest warrant controversy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declined to meet with British Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs James Cleverly.

The refusal follows a shift in the UK’s stance regarding the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Netanyahu, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

The Prime Minister reportedly felt affronted by the British government's new position, which influenced his decision to forgo the scheduled meeting with Cleverly, who visited Israel at the end of last week.
