On Wednesday, the Global Legal Action Network (Glan), the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and the Hind Rajab Foundation formally submitted the warrant request to the UK’s attorney general and director of public prosecutions. The submission for an arrest warrant argued that Saar was criminally responsible for the Israeli military’s attack on the Kamal Adwan hospital late last year.
A spokesperson for the attorney general’s office said: “The law officers have declined to provide consent to the prosecution of Gideon Saar.” They added: “International law requires that immunity is accorded to serving ministers for foreign affairs in domestic criminal proceedings irrespective of the subject matter, or gravity, of any complaint.”
Glan director Gearóid Ó Cuinn told MEE his organisation has seen evidence that “Mr Saar made plans to prematurely leave the UK before he was made aware of the attorney general’s decision”. “This was an active intervention by UK authorities to protect an unindicted war criminal in the midst of the ongoing extermination in Gaza,” he said.
After Jeremy Corbyn getting ousted for his anti Israel views there is little room for doubt.
There is a fascinating documentary called The Lobby that goes undercover and exposes Israel’s extremely underhanded and insidious attempts to infiltrate and manipulate UK politics and goverment via funding NGOs and ‘grassroot’ groups.
Once it came it came out, Israel cried antisemitism, like they always do for every thing, real or not. Which lead to an almost 6 month investigation that proved the Doc to not only be Legit but also an awesome modern example of investigate reporting and journalism. But due to this delay many people never heard of it.
Once the Doc was vindicated, Israel did a sudden but fully expected 180° and apologised, then dropped the matter, as if it had never happened. Some people were recalled back to Israel, other lost their jobs or resigned, including at least one UK MP.
