Police may seek to declare Bishara a 'wanted fugitive'

By Jonathan Lis and Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent

Unless former MK Azmi Bishara returns to Israel for a police interview within a reasonable period of time he may be declared a "fugitive from justice," police sources said on Thursday.

However, this definition is essentially irrelevant in Bishara's case: declaring him a fugitive from justice is meant to assist the police in locating criminals who are not public figures and who are trying to flee the country.

"Bishara is a famous person in Israel, and therefore it will be difficult to pass through border crossings [without being noticed]," a police source said.

A document released on Thursday to the media on the Bishara investigation implies that the police will arrest him when he returns to Israel, as he no longer enjoys parliamentary immunity.

He also said he does not fear the kind of heavy punishment meted out to those convicted of the serious crimes he allegedly committed.

According to Bishara, senior Israeli officials are the ones that should be tried for war crimes they commited against Lebanese and Palestinians.

"In July [2006] they killed children in Lebanon. I remember my tears and people's tears over those children. Eight months later they come to me. What, have they become pure over this time? Were they baptized? Found God? They want to judge the one who condemned the aggression against Lebanon, and that is not acceptable."

Bishara denies all the allegations and said Thursday that Hezbollah has more military intelligence on Israel than he does.

"Who is kept away from such information more than Israeli Arabs?"


[I frankly am skeptical about these allegations against Azmi Beshara?
Since when has Israel appointed a Christian Israeli such as him as minister of defense or put him in a position where he could pass secrets. It is true he visited Arab countries. He is an Arab, after all. He visited Syria. Arabs aren't his enemies. He is one of them. No surprise there. He is a major symbol for Israeli Arabs.]

Bishara? Time for the Mossad to deal with him as in the Munich issue.
