Palestinians to UN: Israel commits war crimes
The Palestinian representative to the UN Riyad Mansour attacked Israel in the Security Council and accused it of perpetrating "war crimes." He added, "The Palestinian leadership does not set preconditions for negotiations. The settlements are the main obstacle to peace and sabotage every effort for a two country solution."
Israel's UN Ambassador Ron Prosor slammed the EU decision to boycott goods from the settlements, saying that the UN made a point to denounce every terrace built, but never saying a word regarding the thousands of terrorist attacks committed against Israelis. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
