Egypt criticizes British stand

A well- informed Egyptian official has criticized Britain's stand which opposed a call advocated by the Arab leaders to set up an international criminal court to try the Israelis who committed crimes against the Palestinians and described the British stand as biased in favor of Israel.

In a statement to the London- based al-Sharq al-Awsat daily, the source called on the British government to reconsider its position once again following the massacres committed against the Palestinians at the hands of the Israelis.

The source added " we do refuse double- standard. The international law and agreements governing human rights under occupation should be honored."
