Spain Promises to Limit Jurisdiction to Prevent Charges Against Israeli Officials
[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. On Thursday, a Spanish court granted a petition by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, asking that seven Israeli security officials be charged with alleged "crimes against humanity" for their involvement in the 2002 killing of Hamas suicide bombing mastermind Salah Shehade in Gaza. Moratinos also said his government was working to solve the current lawsuit.
