Israeli politician Tzipi Livni 'summoned by UK police'
3 July 2016 Middle East
Israeli politician Tzipi Livni was summoned by UK police for questioning over alleged war crimes while in London last week, Israeli officials have said.
Ms Livni received a letter from the police on Thursday but the summons was cancelled after talks between Israel and the UK, Israeli media reports say.
The case relates to the 2008-9 conflict in Gaza, when Ms Livni was foreign minister and deputy PM, they say.
UK police said there was no ongoing war crimes investigation.
Correspondents say pro-Palestinian activists have filed a series of complaints against Israeli officials, including Ms Livni, in recent years.
