Israel condemns Belgium for planning to interrogate Livni

Israel denounces Belgium's intention to question former minister over alleged “war crimes” during Operation Cast Lea

Israel on Friday denounced what it called the "cynical exploitation" of Belgium's judicial system, after Belgian prosecutors confirmed they wanted to question former minister Tzipi Livni over alleged “war crimes”.

Livni was expected to visit Brussels to meet Jewish leaders in the city but "cancelled three or four days before," a spokesman for the event said.

He said the cancellation was for "personal reasons" but local newspaper LeSoir said prosecutors had been hoping to question Livni over allegations of war crimes during Israel’s counterterrorism Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in later 2008-early 2009, when she was Foreign Minister.

This story is all over though I had to search for a source that was more hospitable towards Israel.

Hey Belgium, let's talk about your occupation of the Congo back in the day.
