Bethlehem – Ma’an/Agencies –

The Israeli terrorist government foreign minister and war criminal, Tzipi Livni, nearly cancelled a planned trip to Belgium over concerns that the Israeli leader could face legal actions for war crimes.

The website of the Israeli newspaper Yediot reported that Livni put her trip on hold on hearing a report that she could face war crimes charges.

Israel's Ambassador to Brussels Tamar Samash, European Union Ambassador Ran Curiel and the Israeli Justice Ministry immediately began looking into the report.

This initial report turned out to be false, and Livni’s trip to the EU headquarters is to go ahead as planned. According to Yediot, the episode signal’s the Israeli government’s growing concern over war crimes charges.

More than 1,300 Palestinians were killed in Israel’s three-week war on the Gaza Strip in December and January. Among the dead are hundreds of women and children.

Dozens of Palestinians rallied on Wednesday at the Red Cross headquarters in the West Bank city of Bethlehem in solidarity with the Gaza Strip demanding war crimes tribunals for Israeli leaders.

The demonstration was organized by a committee of Palestinian political factions and the Palestinian Prisoner Society.

Demonstrators chanted slogans condemning Israeli aggression in Gaza while others raised posters calling for war crimes prosecutions.

On some posters, photos of Israeli war criminals prime minister Ehud Olmert, defence minister Ehud Barak and foreign minister Tzipi Livni appeared next to swastikas.
