Livni to leave on 1st visit to UK since arrest warrant

Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni will leave for a one-day visit to London on Wednesday evening at the invitation of British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

In 2009, an arrest warrant for war crimes allegedly committed during Operation Cast Lead was issued against Livni. Britain recently approved an amendment to the law allowing arrest warrants to be issued against Israeli officials. (Moran Azulay)
