China says it will not support the discussion of the controversial Goldstone Report in the UN Security Council and at the International Court in the Hague.
A Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee delegation visiting China, headed by Committee Chairman Tzachi Hanegbi, heard Wednesday morning from its Chinese colleagues in Beijing, that while China supported adopting the report at the UN Human Rights Council, she will oppose discussing it in other UN forums.
According to Knesset Speaker Reuven (Ruby) Rivlin, this is an important diplomatic achievement for an Israeli parliamentary delegation, and points to the importance of bilateral relations between parliamentary delegations in general. Rivlin made the statement during a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister of Mexico, Loords Aranda Sauria, who also expressed sympathy for Israel’s position regarding the Goldstone Report.
