UAE calls for arrest of Mossad chief Meir Dagan and Netanyahu over al-Mabhouh murder

Dubai police chief calls for arrest of Meir Dagan (pictured above), the head of Mossad. In addition to the UK, France and Ireland, the US is now investigating Mossad's activities because US credit cards were used to pay for flights. Israel's UK ambassador Proser was "unable to add information" on the identity theft. Passports not stolen but 'sophisticated clones'. Photos and signatures on passports don't match any of the six British Israelis. The Guardian newspaper speculates that UK is threatening to go back on an understanding to change the 'universal jurisdiction' law so that Israel's war criminals could not face arrest or charges on future visits to the UK.

The Dubai police also suggested yesterday that Netanyahu should face justice:

Earlier Gen Tamim had said if it is proven that Mossad is responsible for the killing of al Mabhouh “Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will be the first to be wanted for justice as he would have been the one who signed the decision to kill [Mahmoud] al Mabhouh in Dubai’ and that an arrest warrant will be issued against him.

However, today Gen Tamim declined to comment on whether the UAE authorities is to issue an arrest warrant for Mr Netanyahu.

But given its already difficult humanitarian situation and high population density, an outbreak in the Gaza Strip could prove to be catastrophic, health officials have warned. "If the virus enters Gaza and spreads, it will get out of hand," Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson Majdi Thuhair told Middle East Eye, as he explained that a severe shortage of resources and personnel would make it near impossible
