GAZA, (PIC)-- Hosam Ahmed, the head of Hamas’s refugee affairs office, said Thursday that the British government’s intention to change its judicial system in order to revoke the arrest warrant issued against Tzipi Livni brings to mind the British role in the displacement of the Palestinian people.

In a press release, Ahmed added that barring courts from issuing arrest warrants against Israeli war criminals is another violation of international law committed by Britain against the Palestinian people.

Ahmed underlined that Britain’s allegations about its role in the peace process is of no value because this process, since its launch in Madrid in 1992, has been providing a cover-up for the criminal Zionist policy in the region especially in Palestine and led to the escalation of Judaization and settlement activities.

He considered that Britain’s bias in favor of the "peace process" at the expense of international law and justice represents its persistence in adopting the same wrong policy it pursued in 1917 when it issued the Balfour declaration.
