Spanish, Slovenian envoys dressed down after UNHRC approves probe of Gaza clashes

The Foreign Ministry confirms the Spanish and Slovenian ambassadors were summoned for reprimands after their countries voted in favor of a UN Human Rights Council probe into Israel’s handling of deadly clashes along the Gaza border.

The Belgian ambassador will be summoned tomorrow, the Foreign Ministry says.

Spain, Slovenia and Belgium were three of the 29 countries on Friday to vote for the investigation, which Israel vowed not to cooperate with and slammed as “absurd” and “hypocritical.”
