Will the media finally do their job & ask No.10 who blocked the arrest warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during his UK visit?
Itβs astonishing the PM insists he had no role in blocking a warrant for an unindicted war criminal.
So whoβs lying? Because someone is.
Thanks! Is mentioned in the article :)

BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been sought for Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saβar during his secret visit to the UK
Sa'ar met with David Lammy on Tuesday
@scotnational.bsky.social
Saβar recently tried to justify Israelβs decision to cut off aid to Gaza, an act of collective punishment under international law
Will this be just another meeting Labour can push under the rug?
Barely any politicians have condemned the visit β which took place rather handily for the UK Govt during recess
And now, Israel has announced its troops will remain in so-called security zones βindefinitelyβ
It comes after @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social reported that Saβar was set to visit sometime this week
