Former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Lieutenant General (res.) Moshe Ya'alon left New Zealand this week, after a warrant was issued for his arrest for suspected war crimes.
The New Zealand Justice Ministry issued the warrant on Tuesday, several days after a request by a New Zealand resident that was co-signed by various local and international human rights organizations.
The warrant names Ya'alon for ordering an Israel Air Force attack on the home of Hamas official Salah Shehada in the Gaza Strip in 2002.
The attack, which killed Shahada and one of his aides, also caused the deaths of 13 civilians.
"Officials at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem" as a credible source? I'm still laughing.
Mossad agents have a way of doing that for me.
I call bullsh*t on "dropped charges".
Why did the police let this criminal get away?
Government overrules war-crimes arrest order
that two NZ journalists were kidnapped in Gaza by masked gunmen who the media dutifully assumed were Palestinian when in fact they were more likely israeli.
israel has a BIG bone to pick with New Zealand.
Do you think the laying of the charges was retribution?
Someone named Wakim got a judge to issue a warrant. I wonder what his motive was.
why or who decided to issue a warrant against this guy or how they went about doing it.
I'm just saying that there are a lot of folks in NZ who don't like israelis and vice versa.
hahahaha, what a joke, ofcourse he will escape to his homeland, isn't he from the chosen tribe?.
NZ learn with whom you are dealing with, watch out the MOSSAD will have you on his list, and IDF will send jets to bomb Auckland. soon. for the security of Israhell.
