Israel may leave UNHRC, PM says

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is considering leaving the UN Human Rights Council in wake of a report on possible war crimes committed during last summer’s Gaza conflict, according to Army Radio.

Netanyahu’s announcement comes during a meeting with top Israeli diplomats, among them former foreign minister Avigdor Liberman, who reminds the prime minister that Israel had pulled out of the UN Human Rights Council in the past, but Netanyahu chose to rejoin the council a short while later.
