Israel criticises UK over Livni arrest warrant
Olly Barratt, FSN London Bureau
Israel has criticised the issuing of a war crimes arrest warrant in the UK for former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Ms Livni had been due to visit Britain, but her trip was cancelled.
The UK says it is urgently looking into the wider implications of the case - but there may be nothing it can do to stop warrants being issued against members and former members of the Israeli government.

The justices ruled that the JFS school in London had breached race relations laws.
But it's raised concern amongst the Jewish community, and has implications for religious schools all over the UK.
