Having Schabas lead UN Gaza probe akin to ISIS hosting religious tolerance event
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations predicted on Wednesday that Jerusalem will not cooperate with the so-called "Schabas committee" that has been appointed to investigate alleged war crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge.
International Canadian law expert William Schabas -- known for his criticism of Israel -- will head the United Nations Human Rights Council's probe into Israel's actions in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza in the last two months.
The Foreign Ministry said that Schabas's appointment to head the panel proved that Israel cannot expect justice from this body.
"The report has already been written and the only question is who signs it," the Foreign Ministry said.
