The Israel Police have issued an arrest warrant against Rabbi Dov Lior, one of the most prominent Zionist rabbis and halakhic decision makers, who is Rabbi of Kiryat Arba in the Hevron district, causing furious reactions among religious and nationalist spokespersons.
The warrant was issued after the rabbi refused to come in for questioning regarding the halakhic approbation he wrote at the beginning of a book called Torat HaMelech, which was written by another rabbi. The book discussed the theoretical attitude of Jewish Law toward killing a non-Jew in wartime.
 
An approbation or "haskama" (literally "consent") from respected rabbis is commonly sought by rabbis who write works of Judaica and its inclusion at the start of this kind of book means only that the halakhic reasoning in it is coherent.
