The British government has sparked outrage by refusing to arrest Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar during his London visit, despite evidence presented by human rights groups implicating him in Gaza war crimes. The decision exposes the West's complicity in Israel's ongoing assault on Palestinians, now entering its 19th month with over 51,000 killed.  

The Hind Rajab Foundation had filed an urgent arrest request documenting Sa'ar's role in Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza - including the siege of Kamal Adwan Hospital where Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was later abducted. Legal experts confirmed the case met universal jurisdiction standards, noting the International Court of Justice's January ruling that Israel is "plausibly" committing genocide.  

"Sa'ar helped orchestrate the starvation of 2.3 million people," said foundation spokesperson Layla Hassan. "By protecting him, Britain becomes an accomplice to ethnic cleansing." The group cited his advocacy for buffer zones - a euphemism for mass home demolitions displacing 1.7 million Gazans.  

Foreign Secretary David Lammy's office dismissed the petition without review, continuing Britain's pattern of blocking accountability for Israeli officials. The move comes as the UK faces growing criticism for arming Israel amid the deadliest conflict this century, with MPs recently voting down motions to suspend weapons sales.  

As Sa'ar attended diplomatic meetings undisturbed, protesters outside Parliament decried what they called "Britain's veto on justice." With the ICC already seeking Netanyahu's arrest, the incident highlights how Western powers insulate allies from international law - while Palestinians pay with their lives.
