Palestinans ask UN rights council to meet on Gaza report

But, in a reversal, the Palestinian envoy to the UN in Geneva, Ibrahim Khraishi, told AFP his mission has begun consultations to schedule a]coden extraordinary meeting of the council "as soon as possible" to adopt the report and implement its recommendations.
The report, produced by an independent fact-finding mission headed by former international war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone, accused both Israel and Palestinian armed groups of committing war crimes during the three-week war in Gaza that erupted on December 27, killing some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
The UN Security Council will discuss the report next week as part of a rescheduled debate on the Middle East, diplomats said on Wednesday.
