UN Row Threatens to Sink Middle East Peace Plan
[Times-UK] Catherine Philp, Philip Webster and James Hider - The UN Human Rights Council is expected to endorse on Friday a controversial report condemning Israel for war crimes during the Gaza offensive in January. Britain and other EU countries are planning to abstain, while U.S. officials said they would vote against the resolution. Yigal Palmor, the Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, told The Times that adoption of the resolution would wreck the peace process: "It will make it impossible for us to take any risks for the sake of peace."
