Israel's former foreign minister Tzipi Livni has met her British counterpart in London, just weeks after a controversial law seeking to prevent political arrest warrants was passed. Livni, currently the leader of Israel's opposition, arrived in Britain on Thursday to discuss recent events in the Middle East and British-Israeli relations with William Hague.
Her visit to the UK is the first since a court issued a warrant for her arrest on war crimes charges in 2009, over the conflict in Gaza. The warrant took issue with her role in the offensive, called Operation Cast Lead, which caused the death of at least 1,400 Palestinians.
