UN assembly to debate Goldstone Report on Gaza war

The United Nations General Assembly plans to debate as early as next week a UN report accusing Israel and Hamas of war crimes during the recent conflict in the Gaza Strip, diplomats said on Tuesday.

Libya's Deputy UN Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi said Arab representatives at the United Nations had requested a meeting of the 192-nation assembly on November 4 to discuss the report, which was prepared by a fact-finding commission led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone. (Reuters)
