UK police summons Livni

Israeli politician Tzipi Livni was summoned by UK police for questioning over war crimes while in London last week, Israeli officials have said. Livni received a letter from the police on Thursday but the summons was canceled after talks between Israel and the UK, media reports said. The case relates to the 2008-9 invasion on Gaza, when Livni was foreign minister and deputy premier, they say. Pro-Palestinian activists have filed a series of complaints against Israeli officials, including Livni, in recent years. An arrest warrant for Livni was issued in the UK in 2009, triggering a diplomatic row between the two countries. Livni canceled her visit.
