Just flew back from Tel Aviv on the same flight as Tzipi Livni this evening. Unlike me, she got an armed police escort off the plane at Heathrow.
You're welcome to come and see her though at 5pm today, Thursday, 6th October, outside Downing Street, Whitehall, London, SW1
Tzipi Livni, who faced an arrest warrant in the UK in 2009 over war crimes committed during the so called "Operation Cast Lead", feels she now can visit the UK because our Government – with the support of the Opposition party – has just changed the law on universal jurisdiction.
According to The Guardian:
The former Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, will meet the foreign secretary, William Hague, in Britain on Thursday in the first test of a new law governing arrest warrants for war crimes.
