Ya'alon spared arrest in New Zealand
Former Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Moshe Ya'alon was spared from being arrested during a recent trip to New Zealand, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights claimed on Thursday.
According to the human rights organization, the Auckland District Court issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of war crimes stating a "suspicion of committing a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention 1949," a criminal offense in New Zealand under the Geneva Conventions Act 1958 and International Crimes and International Criminal Court Act 2000. The court issued the warrant after several lawyers contacted the police to urge Ya'alon's arrest.
The report also accused Ya'alon of being responsible for what they claimed were IDF actions in which "extensive human rights violations and war crimes" had occurred. Despite the decision made by District Court Judge Avinash Deobhakta to have Ya'alon arrested, the local Justice Ministry canceled the warrant at the last minute.

I wonder just who is crazy.
Rice urges cease-fire 'consolidation'
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came to Israel on Thursday, patted Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on the back, and left a few hours later without leaving much of a footprint.
I bet he was overjoyed
Rice, in a brief statement before meeting Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, praised Olmert for what she said was his "very positive speech" Monday at Sde Boker, saying it represented "a hand reaching out to a Palestinian partner."
What are a few fingers among friends?
