Liberman says Israel shouldn’t cooperate with UNHRC
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman is speaking to local leaders in southern Israel and says no one should be surprised if Israel doesn’t cooperate with the UN Human Rights Council.
The hard-line minister says Professor William Schabas, who was appointed the head of the body’s investigation into the Gaza campaign, shouldn’t be let into Israel.
Liberman adds that Israel won’t accept any deal in which the remains of soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin aren’t returned by Hamas.
“If the bodies aren’t returned, the bodies of [Al-Qassam Brigades leader] Mohammed Deif and [Prime Minister in the Gaza Strip] Ismail Haniyeh will be returned to them,” he says.
