Israel`s Vice Premier Cancels UK Visit over Arrest Fears

Occupied Jerusalem, October 05 (QNA) - Israel's Vice Prime Minister Moshe Ya'alon recently cancelled a planned trip to Britain for fear of being arrested there.
Ya'alon was invited to London to attend a fund-raising dinner for Benji's Home, a group home for soldiers with no family in Israel, according to Israel's Newspaper Ha'aretz.
Ya'alon was asked to attend the dinner by the British branch of the Jewish National Fund, which is helping the Hillmans raise money for the project, and said he would if the Foreign Ministry's legal department okayed it. 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 militant Salah Shehadeh in July 2002.
The attack also killed 14 civilians. |
