The UN's newly-appointed special envoy to the Middle East said on Thursday he was "troubled" by Israel's arrest of the Palestinian education minister and other Hamas legislators. "I'm troubled when I see Israeli soldiers arresting Palestinian legislators. I'm troubled that the education minister was arrested," UN Envoy Michael Williams told Reuters in an interview.

"Of course legislators cannot be immune from the law. But what worries me is that in most cases, as I understand it, there haven't been any charges...Let alone trials," Williams added, referring to Israel's arrest of Hamas lawmakers last year.
