Netanyahu had been on way to London hotel near blasts
JERUSALEM (AP) ? Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on his
way to a hotel near the scene of one of the London blasts Thursday when
he received a call to stay put, the foreign minister said.
"After the first explosion, our finance minister received a request not
to go anywhere," Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told Israel Army Radio.

Netanyahu was to have been the scheduled keynote speaker at an Israeli
corporate investment conference at the Great Eastern hotel near the
Liverpool Street subway station.

Conference participants were evacuated from the hotel. Shalom said he
wasn't aware of any Israeli casualties.

Netanyahu had been scheduled to stay in London until Sunday, but that
could change, said Amir Gilad, a Netanyahu aide.

Shalom speculated the attackers might have taken advantage of the fact
that police resources were diverted to a meeting of Western leaders.

The Israeli ambassador to London, Zvi Hefetz, said Thursday that British
police had called to tell embassy personnel to stay inside their
offices. "There is fear that this wave (of violence) has not yet ended,"
Hefetz said.
