Israel erred in blowing off UN, Dichter says
Former Shin Bet chief and Likud minister Avi Dichter says Israel erred in not cooperating with a UN Human Rights Council probe into last summer’s war in the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to the Knesset Channel, he says Israel blew an opportunity to weigh in on the issue.
Israel did not allow UN investigators into the Gaza Strip to investigate claims of war crimes during Operation Protective Edge, nor did it cooperate with their investigation in Israel.
He says that ahead of the arrival of a Gaza blockade-busting flotilla next week, Israel should “take advantage of the present days to show all the photos which back up the IDF’s morality in all conflicts.”
