Iain Dale's Cross Question panel discuss the International Criminal Court’s request for multiple arrest warrants in the Israel-Gaza war.

Joe Biden has publicly condemned the ICC for including Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu in this group.

The Daily Express’ Christian Calgie agrees with Joe Biden's condemnation of the ICC for issuing an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it 'offensive nonsense.’

Calgie says: 'Comparing Netanyahu to the terrorists that perpetrated that horrific crime is totally wrong.'

Conservative MP Tom Hunt defends Christian Calgie’s comments, saying that the ICC drawing a parallel between Hamas and Netanyahu 'shocking beyond belief'.

This prompted a wider discussion as to whether the UK should leave the ICC.

Labour MP Dame Diana Johnson believes the ICC is 'an important cornerstone of the legal framework that, as a country, we respect and operate within'.
