Spanish Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu over Flotilla Raid 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Spanish judge has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and seven other former and current Israeli officials
over the deadly 2010 Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Nine
people were killed when Israeli commandos stormed the Mavi Marmara in
international waters; a 10th died after four years in a coma. The case
against Israeli officials in Spain emerged after Spanish activists on
board the flotilla sued Netanyahu. The judge's move means Netanyahu
could be detained and questioned if he steps foot in Spain.
