Warrant strains Israel-UK ties - 16 Dec 09
A court in the UK has issued - and then cancelled - an arrest warrant against Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni.
Former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has defended the country's offensive on Gaza, after an arrest warrant for war crimes was issued against her in Britain.
The UK government has denounced an arrest warrant against Tzipi Livni, the former Israeli foreign minister.
On Sunday, a UK court issued the warrant against Livni for her role in alleged war crimes during the War on Gaza. The Israeli government has criticised the move.
Britain's foreign office says it is investigating the incident which is straining relations between the two countries.
