Netanyahu slams UNHRC for anti-Israel focus

Netanyahu, in a first response to the UN report, says the UN’s Human Rights Commission “does everything but take care of human rights. The commission spends more time condemning Israel than Iran, Syria and North Korea put together.”

The prime minister adds: “Israel does not commit war crimes but defends itself against a terror organization calling for its destruction. We will not sit idly by, but continue to act with force and determination, and in accordance with international law.”
