Goldstone: Punish Commanders Who Broke Laws in Gaza Date : 17/9/2009 Time : 20:59
TEL AVIV, September 17, 2009 (WAFA)- The head of a United Nations commission that charged Israel with committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip during its offensive there earlier last winter wrote Thursday that soldiers and commanders must be held accountable for serious violations during the fighting, the Israeli daily Haaretz said.
Goldstone said that he stood behind his commission's findings and regretted only Israel's refusal to cooperate with the investigation.
'If there is any difference that I would have preferred, [it] would have been that we could have got cooperation from Israel and in particular, I would have liked the Israeli government to assist us and decide what we should investigate because that's what I asked them to do,' he said.
