Israel to UK: Support for Goldstone Report Could Mean London Will "Find Itself in Handcuffs"
[Independent-UK] Ben Lynfield - After the UK Ambassador to the UN, John Sawers, voiced support for aspects of a UN report that could lead to prosecution of Israeli army officers for alleged war crimes, Israeli officials warned that any British support for the report would boomerang. If a precedent is set of Israelis being prosecuted for acts during the Gaza war, Britons could also be placed in the dock for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, they said. "London, which is also in the midst of a war against terror, could find itself in handcuffs if it supports the document," they said.
