TEL AVIV – Israel warned on Thursday that the UN Human Rights Council would strike a fatal blow to the stalled Middle East peace process if it passes its damning Gaza war report on to the Security Council.
“The adoption of what is called the Goldstone report would deal a fatal blow to the peace process,” hardline Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, repeating comments he made at the UN General Assembly last week.
“Israel will not be able to take further steps and further risks towards peace if the report is adopted,” Netanyahu said.
