Belgium’s highest court ruled yesterday Israeli Prime Minister General Ariel Sharon can be sued for war crimes connected to his role in the Sabra and Shatila massacre, in which up to 2,000 Palestinian refugees were slaughtered. However, Sharon is immune until he leaves office. In response to the ruling, Israel immediately recalled its ambassador to Belgium.
