GENEVA, 09 June 2022, (TON): According to a report released “an independent commission of inquiry set up by the UN Human Rights Council after last year’s Gaza conflict said Israel must do more than end the occupation of land Palestinians want for a state.”
Israel’s ministry of foreign affairs called the report a waste of money and effort that amounted to a witch-hunt. Israel boycotted the inquiry, accusing it of bias and barred entry to its investigators.
While prompted by the 11-day May 2021 conflict in which 250 Gaza Palestinians and 13 people in Israel died, the inquiry mandate includes alleged human rights abuses before and after that and seeks to investigate the root causes of the tensions.
It cites evidence saying Israel has no intention of ending the occupation and is pursuing.
