Israel eyes return to UN rights body after boycott

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva says his country may end its boycott of the UN's top human rights forum.

In a letter dated June 3, Eviatar Manor says he wants to engage the head of the UN Human Rights Council "with a view to positively resolve all outstanding issues in Israel's complex relationship" with the 47-nation body. The letter was released by the UN on Friday. (AP)
