Israel is postponing "strategic dialogue" with Britain over defence and security issues, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

The move is a protest over attempts to use British law to prosecute visiting Israeli officials for alleged war crimes, the spokesman added.

The news comes on the first day of an official visit to Israel by the UK's Foreign Secretary William Hague.

He will also be visiting the occupied territories.

An arrest warrant was issued through UK courts for Israeli former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni in December last year. The warrant was granted by a London court at the request of Palestinian plaintiffs, provoking Israeli anger.

It was revoked when it was found Ms Livni was not visiting the UK.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman denied that the latest development was a deliberate "ambush" to humiliate Mr Hague.

The timing of this announcement will have raised eyebrows on the British side, because the UK feels it is working hard to meet Israeli concerns over this issue.

Western diplomats are often frustrated by the way the Israeli foreign ministry works - it has a record of making statements which embarrass and frustrate Israel's allies and friends.

But diplomats say what is said and done by the Israeli Foreign Ministry is often at odds with the Israeli prime minister's position.

That reflects one of the anomalies of the very fragile coalition government in Israel.

Earlier this week it was reported that Israel's Intelligence Minister, Dan Meridor, cancelled a trip to Britain amid concerns that he risked being arrested on war crimes charges.

Israel has expressed anger that, in the past, ministers and senior military figures have had to cancel visits to the UK because of concerns that pro-Palestinian groups might use the courts to seek their arrest over Israeli military action in Gaza, or this year's raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship in which nine Turkish activists were killed.

Pro-Palestinian campaigners have tried several times to have Israeli officials arrested under the principle of universal jurisdiction, which holds that some alleged crimes are so grave that they can be tried anywhere, regardless of where the offences were committed.

************************The BBC's Wyre Davies said the news that Israel was postponing an annual round of strategic talks with Britain was potentially embarrassing, even though the Conservatives have already promised to amend those laws which could expose visiting Israeli politicians to arrest.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the issue would be at the top of the agenda during Mr Hague's visit.

Fred- Israel assasinates those who have a history of violence towards israel and its citizens. Those that carry out those acts do so in the knowledge that Israel will track them down and put them out of their misery.
Remember the police station in ramallah where 2 reserve soldiers were savagely murdered and their bodies flung from the 1st floor-well the guy who came out showing the blood on his hands is now sharing seventh heaven with his virgin brides.

A few weeks ago some nasty settlers (yes, ALL countries have unpleasant citizens !) attacked a village on the West Bank and some Korans were burnt as a result.
A group of local rabbi settlers were so incensed and embarrassed by their fellow settlers' actions they went to the village and apologised and gave them brand new Korans.
Of course you never read anything positive on this thread, only the rantings and hatreds of Nazis, anti-semites and the obsessed.
ALL PEOPLE, ALL NATIONS HAVE THEIR GOOD AND BAD PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. Get it?

.

are you sure it wasn't koreans that got burnt?

Most of the Israeli West Bank settler violence is conducted while the Israeli forces stand by to prtotect the settlers and often to assist them.

sounds like a quote from the guardian newspaper !

"sounds like a quote from the guardian newspaper ! "

Well, haycrapper only reads......guess what......crap

guardian is only read by the hampstead bleeding-heart liberals and they're all jews anyway

.

conceded - i guess there are also enclaves in St John's Wood, Golders Green, Leeds etc!

.

I thought Obama and Cameron and all of "them" were all closet Jews.
Also I'madinnerjacket boss of Eye-Ran is a Jew.
Not to mention Drogba.

I am certainly not a Guardian reader. The reports of settler violence come from many sources. Stealing the Palestinians' olive crops, their land, bulldozing their crops and houses. All of this happpens while IOF forces protect the settlers. Ony a couple of days ago some settlers burned a Christian church in the West Bank. The settler movement tends to be mainly ultra right wing orthodox. Their views, which are often quoted are that non Jews are scum and should be destroyed. This is ethnic cleasing on a par with the Nazis.

Haystack - only you could suggest something was "ethnetic cleasing". You have some truly great phrases. You should one day publish your language and they should teach it in schools.

ethnetic is magnetic and draws in arcolights whether they like it or not!

I rarely check my posts for spelling. i am not a very good typist.

haycrapper is right.
You'd never have thought I'd ever say that.

























He doesn't read the guardian





Does anyone know of a nazi who does?

"not a very good typist"
not a very good anything
refuses to be objective and is even proud of that
banned from the hypnotherapist register (thank god)
doesn't have an original idea in his head, only being able to grasp how to copy and paste off the internet
need I go on
no, it'll only encourage him
he's like the man being pelted with rotten tomatoes in the stocks for being a yobbo picking on others constantly - he enjoys it because he thinks he's the centre of attraction
nothing personal Greg, just get a life and treatment for the OCD, we all care for you....really.........

In The Land of the B

Are you saying that you are objective?

LOL

I refer you to your post 3725 above. It is hardly the post of an objective person. It is more the post of someone preaching violence.
