The US states that it is not trying to influence the ICC

The US envoy to the UN denies that the country was working to prevent the International Criminal Court (ICC) from issuing an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Reuters reports.

- Their work continues without contact or influence from us, says envoy Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

According to media reports, the court is expected to issue a series of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, something the US wants to prevent.

Several Western sources told Bloomberg that an arrest warrant could mean that negotiations on a truce between Israel and Hamas collapse. The negotiations on the agreement are ongoing and are described as unusually optimistic.

Experts: Arrest warrant against Netanyahu would put Biden in a difficult position

The information in the Israeli press that the International Criminal Court in The Hague, ICC, plans to issue an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu puts US President Joe Biden in a difficult position. That's according to experts that TV4 Nyheterna has spoken to.

If the order is issued, it means that Netanyahu cannot visit his main ally without risking arrest, according to Anders Persson, who is a Middle East expert and researcher at Linnaeus University.

According to the information, the US is trying to prevent it from going that far by stopping the ICC's order. International law professor Ove Bring believes, however, that it will fall on deaf ears.

- If the ICC has decided, then they want to show their independence and professional integrity, he says.
