Gov't Considers Goldstone Investigation
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will convene his security mini-cabinet this afternoon to discuss the Goldstone Report. Attorney General Menachem Mazuz is expected to propose that the government agree to establish an inquiry into the issues raised by the report.
The Goldstone Report accuses Israel of war crimes during its defensive Operation Cast Lead against Hamas at the beginning of this year.
Meanwhile, the Sanhedrin – a Jerusalem-based organization of rabbis and Torah scholars seeking to renew the supreme Jewish court for the Jewish People in the form of a central Jewish-legal authoritative body – has issued an “injunction” to “prohibit the UN Security Council from discussing the Goldstone Report.”
