The Netherlands has said it is prepared to act upon the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if needed, Dutch news agency ANP reported, citing the country’s foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp as its source, Reuters reports.

Judges at the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence chief Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri, commonly known as Mohammed Deif, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
