"When Ya'alon consulted the Foreign Ministry's legal team, they warned that the groups might ask a British court to order his arrest should he visit Britain. They also opined that despite being a minister, he would not enjoy diplomatic immunity, and therefore, the court might accede.
As a result, Ya'alon informed JNF Britain that he would not be able to attend the dinner."

Her Majesty's Government regrets to announce that, owing to a surfeit of war criminals in its own ranks, it is compelled to refuse entry to war criminals of non-UK citizenship.
ReplyDeleteI love how Ha'aretz explains why these guys may be put on trial:
ReplyDelete<span>As chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces in 2002-5, Ya'alon is one of several current and former senior officers whom pro-Palestinian groups have sought to put on trial over the assassination of senior Hamas terrorist Salah Shehadeh in July 2002. The attack also killed 14 civilians. </span>
The way it is phrased, it says that Palestinian advocates are chiefly concerned with the death of a "terrorist" and that the 14 dead civilians is just some side trivia about the attack...and it is curious one of the victims of the attack is labeled a terrorist with no explaination-but the guys who killed all the civilians in the incident aren't given that label. I wonder why that is.
Good observation Joe..Clever :)
