Foreign Minister Penny Wong told the Senate on Monday that the federal government will ‘comply with international law’ when it comes to the possible arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he decides to travel to Australia. Her comments come after the International Criminal Court last week issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict. The government has declined to denounce the warrants, further straining its relations with Israel, while the Coalition has attacked the government for not adopting a similar view to US President Joe Biden, who has labelled the ICC’s move as "outrageous".
