Israeli prime minister called war criminal
LONDON — The mayor of London called Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon a "war criminal who should be in prison and not in office," and said in a newspaper article published yesterday that Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing.
Ken Livingstone, already mired in a scandal after comparing a Jewish journalist to a Nazi concentration camp guard, also accused Mr. Sharon of organizing terror against Palestinians and endangering Londoners by fueling worldwide anger.
In Israel, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said the mayor's comments "aren't even worthy of an Israeli response."
