Britain has apologized to Israel over a UK court arrest
warrant for former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and
vowed "urgent" legal adjustments to reverse the verdict.
British Foreign Minister David Miliband has apologized to
his Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman over a recent
court ruling that convicted Livni of links to atrocities
committed by Israel during its assault on Gaza last year.
The court had issued a warrant to detain her, should she
embark on a UK trip.
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has, in a
telephone conversation with the convicted Israeli official,
expressed regret over the latest court verdict and stated
that Livni would be 'most welcome' in Britain.
Brown has also pledged to transform the legal system.
For her part, Livni has slammed the British legal System for
'victimizing' people who "are forced to fight terrorism."
Several Israeli officials have canceled visits to Britain
because of similar warrants issued after the Israeli
devastating offensive against Gazans at the turn of the
year.
The Israeli government has attacked Britain for her 'biggest
mistake' after a Westminster magistrates' court issued the
warrant at the request of lawyers acting for some of the
Palestinian victims of Operation Cast Lead but dropped it
once it was discovered that Livni was not in the country.
The warrant was issued for Israel's "war crimes" when Livni
was foreign minister during the December 2007-January 2008
offensive which left over 1,350 Palestinians dead in the
Gaza Strip.
The latest episode comes after a report by a United Nations
Human Rights Council Judge Richard Goldstone, in which
Israel has been implicated for 'deliberately' shooting
civilians with white flags and targeting a mosque at prayer
time during the Gaza war.
The Goldstone probe, awarded by the International Legal
Assistance Consortium (ILAC), the Swedish Bar Association
and the International Bar Associational for its originality,
found Israeli army had violated international humanitarian
law by also shelling Gaza City house and using Palestinians
as human shields while searching civilian neighborhoods.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
