Liberman vows to defend troops amid calls for probe into Gaza clashes

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman promises to defend IDF soldiers from international investigations, following a damning session of the UN Human Rights Council earlier in the day.

“Dear soldiers, just as you guard us from Hamas terror, we will protect you from international inquiries and hypocritical gangs that operate against Israel,” Liberman says in a tweet.
