Israel Balks at UN War Crimes Probe of Gaza War
[AP] Diaa Hadid - Israel is unlikely to cooperate with a Gaza war crimes probe because it distrusts the UN Human Rights Council sponsoring the investigation, an Israeli government official said Wednesday. The investigation is to be headed by South African Judge Richard Goldstone, who is Jewish. "(It's) not about Justice Goldstone," Aharon Leshno Yaar, the Israeli ambassador to UN organizations in Geneva, said Tuesday. "It's clear to everybody who follows this council and the way that it treats Israel that justice cannot be the outcome of this mission."
