Hamas: Obligate Israel to honor international flotilla probe
Hamas welcomed a decision by the UN Human Rights Council to investigate the circumstances of the calamitous IDF raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in May.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said it was a move in the right direction, but that "Israel must be obligated to honor the decisions of the investigation, and not be allowed to escape punishment". Abu-Zuhri also mentioned that establishing the Goldstone committee had been a proper move but that the international community had allowed Israel to evade its conclusions and the trying of IDF officials.
