Former Israeli Foreign Minister Livni Summoned by Scotland Yard during London Visit over Alleged War Crimes
(Guardian-UK) Donald Macintyre - Israel's former foreign minister Tzipi Livni was summoned on Thursday for a "voluntary interview" from Scotland Yard detectives examining alleged war crimes during Israel's 2008-09 military operation in Gaza, as Livni prepared to attend a conference in London. Israel expressed "great concern" to London over the summons. "We would have expected different behavior from a close ally such as the UK," a foreign ministry statement said. In the end, Livni was granted special diplomatic immunity by the UK government.
