The UK Foreign Office has warned senior British lawyers they are at risk of sanctions by the United States because of advice they provided to the International Criminal Court on Israel’s conduct in Gaza.

Senior lawyers involved in the ICC’s war crimes case against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant have received the warnings from Britain’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, according to people familiar with the matter.

They include a former senior British judge, Lord Justice Adrian Fulford, Labour peer Baroness Helena Kennedy of the Shaws, and Danny Friedman, a barrister at Matrix Chambers, the people said.
