  In the UK, the number of petitioners calling for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has surpassed 76,000. The petition was created on the British parliament official website on August seven. The petitioners accuse Netanyahu of committing war crimes in Israel’s deadly war on Gaza last year. They want their government to arrest Netanyahu as he sets foot in Britain for an official visit in September. The British government has responded that certain officials cannot be arrested or detained under international law. However, a parliament debate must be opened if the signatures reach 100-thousand. Israel’s 50-day war on Gaza in July last year left more than 2200 people dead.
