Israel's military chief of staff, Herzi Halevi, on Monday 25 November, flew to Britain to meet military chiefs from a number of countries - amid speculation that the International Criminal Court (ICC) could issue an arrest warrant for him over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The Labour government confirmed Halevi was given special mission immunity, a status that provides foreign officials with protection from criminal proceedings and arrest.
Halevi oversaw a drone attack in central Gaza in April that killed seven aid workers of the World Central Kitchen, including three British nationals.
