More people in Britain are signing a petition, calling on the government to arrest the Israeli prime minister upon his arrival in the UK next month. More than 50-thousand people have signed the online petition published on the UK’s parliament website. They say Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested for war crimes. The petition criticizes Netanyahu for the massacre of over two-thousand Palestinians during Israel’s 50-day war on Gaza last year. According to British law, any petition that has over 10,000 signatures must be met with a response from the government. If the petition collects more than 100-thousand signatures, it must be debated in parliament. Netanyahu is due in London on an official visit next month. Israel has rejected the petition as meaningless.
