Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that no member of his government or armed forces will ever stand trial for war crimes committed by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip during the recent conflict in the region.
Netanyahu made the statement following a decision to push on with a vote in the UN report, which accuses Israel of having committed crimes against humanity and War crimes during the conflict.
The prime minister was highly critical of the UN report, which accused Israel of war crimes, saying: “The truth is exactly the opposite. Israel’s leaders and its army are those who defended the citizens of Israel from war criminals.”
