[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos telephoned Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Friday, and promised that the Spanish government would work to limit Spanish courts' jurisdiction in order to prevent charges against Israeli security officials.

Moratinos also said his government was working to solve the current lawsuit.
