PA President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) made a live televised speech on Sunday evening in which he sharply attacked Israel. During the speech he said, “Israeli actions during the fighting in Gaza were barbaric and inhuman. We must bring to trial the killers of our children.”

After harsh internal criticism, Abu Mazen has directed PA representatives in Geneva to compel the UN Human Rights Organization to convene an urgent session to discuss the findings of its controversial Goldstone Report, which claims Israel committed “war crimes” against Gaza residents during its Cast Lead Operation.
