"In the past, attempts were made to obtain warrants to arrest foreign dignitaries such as Henry Kissinger and Tzipi Livni, former foreign minister and now leader of the opposition in Israel. The threat of arrest strained diplomatic relations between Britain and Israel. Last year, both Deputy Israeli Prime Minister Dan Meridor and Livni canceled trips to Britain, fearing arrest."
