Israel has submitted a formal complaint to Britain after the UK ambassador to Lebanon said that Europe's decision to blacklist Hezbollah was not because of its behaviour towards Israel. Jerusalem said Tom Fletcher's remarks would encourage future attacks on Israeli civilians. In an interview with Al-Monitor, the Middle East online news source, Mr Fletcher said: "There has been a lot of distortions on that subject, be it from Israel, (Hasan) Nasrallah (Hezbollah Secretary General) other leaders here. I invite people to look at the facts." Reported by This is 15 hours ago.
