Ex-Israeli FM Cancels UK Visit After Arrest Warrant Issued for Gaza Assault

HeadlineDec 15, 2009

In Britain, former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has canceled a scheduled visit after a British court issued a warrant for her arrest. The warrant cited Livni’s role in the US-backed Israeli attack on Gaza nearly a year ago that killed over 1,300 Palestinians, most of them civilians. It the first time a British court had issued an arrest warrant for a sitting or former Israeli minister. The warrant was rescinded after the court determined Livni would not be visiting Britain.
