NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Maariv newspaper reported Sunday that Arab and Jewish organizations in the US decided to submit a claim to the American administration demanding it to arrest Israeli chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi for committing war crimes in Gaza during his visit to Washington.

The newspaper added that these protest organizers also decided to stage massive rallies in protest at the visit of Ashkenazi, who was described as “Gaza butcher”, outside the hotel he would stay in.

Ashkenazi had arrived on Sunday evening in Washington in order to urge the American administration to strengthen Israel’s military capacity.

For its part, Haaretz newspaper on Sunday revealed that a secret report issued by the Israeli foreign ministry said that the American administration will not make efforts to boost the peace process between the Palestinian Authority and Israel during this year because of its preoccupation with internal affairs.

According to the newspaper, the US administration will not focus its efforts this year to push the peace process in the region and will center its attention on preparing for the congress election.
