Opposition leader Tzipi Livni was invited to the U.K. following an amendment to British law that prevents private citizens from seeking arrest warrants against Israeli officials in Great Britain.
Britain’s chief prosecutor says he blocked an attempt to serve visiting Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni with an arrest warrant.
Prosecutor Keir Starmer’s decision Thursday comes weeks after Britain tightened its law on universal jurisdiction, a principle that allows British courts to prosecute foreigners accused of crimes against humanity, wherever they were committed. Starmer did not say who sought the warrant for Livni.
Hardly surprising, thats what they call the ‘Special Relationship’!!
