Israel’s FM ‘cut short’ UK visit due to arrest warrant

Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) says Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar had cut short his visit to the UK, a day after rights groups formally submitted a request to apply for his arrest warrant, Al Jazeera reports.

“He is a suspect in a live investigation of serious crimes. If seen contact the London Met Police immediately,” the group said on X.

The UK-based GLAN, as well as the Hind Rajab Foundation, had reportedly submitted a request for an arrest warrant for Sa’ar.
