45,000 demand Israel PM Netanyahu’s arrest for ‘war crimes’ during UK state visit
Published time: 13 Aug, 2015
*** According to the Jerusalem Post, some former Israeli officials have been at risk of arrest in Britain as pro-Palestinian activists in the UK “take advantage of legal loopholes.”
Previously, the law allowed complaints of alleged war crimes committed elsewhere to be lodged against military personnel even if they were not British citizens.
*** In 2011, Britain altered the law, making it more difficult to obtain arrest warrants against Israeli figures by requiring the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Previous targets have included the former Defense Minister Ehud Barak and former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
