Arrest warning prompts retired Israeli general to cut short London visit
Danny Rothschield, who coordinated IDF operations in the early 90s, cancels scheduled events and returns to Israel a day after former Labour leader Amir Peretz leaves after similar warnings.
Retired Israeli Maj.Gen. Danny Rothschild was forced to cut short a scheduled visit to London this week, and cancel two planned lectures there, after the Israeli embassy warned him he was in danger of being arrested if he stayed in the country.
This comes a day after Knesset member and former Labour leader Amir Peretz was also forced to cut short a London visit, for the same reason.
He was due to give a speech in parliament on Tuesday, organized by the Henry Jackson Society, as well as to appear before another think tank but pulled out of both events, and instead hurried out of the country, taking the Eurostar to France -- so as to avoid passport control at Heathrow-- and flying home Tuesday night.
