UN Inquiry into Alleged Gaza War Crimes to Move Forward

The United Nations is ready to move forward with their inquiry into alleged war crimes committed during the recent Gaza conflict in which Israel launched a massive offensive against Palestinians in response to Hamas attacks.

 

Israel has already held their own inquiry into the conflict and ruled that the military acted within the laws of war. They have shown no willingness to take part in a second inquiry conducted by the UN, saying the international body had a bias against them.

 

As part of the inquiry the UN would investigate several incidents in which Israel was accused of firing on civilians and using chemical gas. The investigation would also examine Hamas tactics, many of which led to Israel entering Gaza and conducting the 22-day attack that ended on January 18.

 

A reported 1,300 Palestinians died in the attacks but the number of civilian deaths has been argued by Palestinians and Israelis. There were ten Israeli soldiers and three civilians killed as well.
