Lebanon seeks arrest of businessman accused of meeting Netanyahu Lebanese judicial authorities issued a warrant Wednesday seeking the arrest of influential businessman Antoun Sehnaoui accused of meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid Israel's war on Lebanon. A Lebanese judicial source told AFP that prosecutor and judge Ahmad Rami had issued a 30-day wanted notice for Sehnaoui "on charges of dealing with the Israeli enemy and violating Lebanon's boycott law against Israel". Lebanese law criminalises contact with Israel, despite the countries beginning direct talks under US sponsorship in April.
