Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto (pictured) said on Thursday while appearing on RAI television's Porta a Porta program that Italy would have to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant if they step on the country's soil.

He stated that while he believes the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue an arrest warrant for the two is "wrong," under international law, Italy would be obliged to apprehend them should they make a visit to the country.

Meanwhile, the United States "fundamentally" rejected ICC's verdict, insisting that the court has no jurisdiction over the matter.
