000 Britons Sign Petition for Arrest of Head
of Israeli Government.
London, 9 September 2015(Lana) More than 107.000 British
nationals have signed a petition for arrest of the Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, once he arrived in the UK, for the
massacre in which more than 2000 people were killed on 2014.
The UK says all visiting heads of state enjoy an immunity from
legal procedures, and could not be arrested, but the petition
indicated how strong the feeling of some people over last year's war
between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The British Parliament debates all petitions that gain more than
100.000 signatures.
In 2009, a British court ordered the arrest of then Israeli
Foreign Minister Tesebi Leveni for war crimes, but withdrew the
charges when it found that Levni cancelled a scheduled visit to
Britain.
