Tel Aviv: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a lie the UN Goldstone Report exposing Israeli war crimes in Gaza and dared to urging for changes to international war laws to justify its anti-Palestinian hostility.

His reaction is owed to the approval by the UN Human Rights Council of the Goldstone Report on Israel’s crimes during its December 2008 and January 2009 military drive in Gaza.

Netanyahu even ordered its cabinet to arrange a world drive to amend international laws and match them to “global terror proliferation”, its definition of Palestinian resistance.

The release orders the Justice Ministry to set up a committee to study legal procedures overseas against the State of Israel and its citizens.

The Israeli Premier even played down the 22-day air, sea and land raid against the Palestinian enclave that left more than 14,000 dead, including 350 children, and more than 5,000 people wounded.

South African Attorney Richard Goldstone refuted Israeli media claims that his report would undermine Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, since “there are no peace talks in process because Israel’s Foreign Minister does not want them.”
