ATHENS, (PIC)-- Greek composer and orchestra conductor Mikis Theodorakis has asked his government to arrest Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu and put him on trial for his crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.

Theodorakis, in a TV interview on Monday evening, attacked Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou for meeting with his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, who the composer says was persona non grata in Greece due to his "war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza."

He said that Athens should have rather arrested Netanyahu and put him on trial.

Referring to a visit by a delegation of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations to Greece this week, Theodorakis said: "We are in danger. [...] the Zionists will gather in Greece for a conference.”
