A leading British newspaper has quoted a lawyer as saying that former "Israeli" premier Ehud Olmert would probably face arrest on war crime charges if he visited Britain, "Neither Olmert nor Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister during the Cast Lead offensive, and a member of "Israel's" war cabinet, would enjoy immunity from prosecution for alleged breaches of the Geneva conventions," the Middle East editor of The Guardian, Ian Black, quoted Daniel Machover as saying.

Machover has been involved in intensifying legal work after the controversial Goldstone report on the three-week conflict. "Neither are ministers any longer," he explained.

"Prosecutions of "Israeli" political and military figures remain likely despite the failure to obtain an arrest warrant for Ehud Barak, the war minister, when he visited the UK earlier this month.. In the Barak case, a magistrate accepted advice from the Foreign Office that the minister enjoyed state immunity and rejected an application made on behalf of several residents of the Gaza Strip".

This is while the United Nations General Assembly is scheduled to meet on November 4 in a bid to consider a UN report, which accuses "Israel" of war crimes, as well as crimes against humanity, during the weeks-long onslaught on the Gaza Strip.

The UN-commissioned report, written by South African war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone and three other international experts, details what investigators call "Israeli" actions" amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity.

Palestinian and International Rights Organizations said on Thursday they have filed a number of lawsuits against "Israeli" military officers before courts in Britain, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Spain, over their role in the brutal war on Gaza, underlining that 86 of "Israeli" officers are now wanted by those courts.
