Israel said on Tuesday that Britain had issued an arrest warrant for former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni, who recently canceled a trip to London. Apparently, the charges stemmed from a British law allowing Palestinians to pursue charges against non-citizens for alleged crimes committed in other countries. The warrant was canceled after it became clear that Livni was not on U.K. soil. The British Foreign Ministry said it was urgently looking into the case and that Britain wanted to be a strategic partner of Israel: "To do this, Israel's leaders need to be able to come to the U.K. for talks with the British Government."
