Israel on Tuesday asked 26 countries for support against a UN vote that singles out its violation of international human rights and humanitarian law in the occupied Gaza Strip, according to local media.
Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz wrote in a letter to the countries not to vote in favor of Israel's alleged violations against Palestinian demonstrators that could be covered by war crimes and crimes against humanity at the UN Human Rights Council.
He said a UN report ignored Hamas' rockets and lacked understanding of security concerns of Israel.
The UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on the Protests in the Occupied Palestinian Territory said Monday that Israeli Security Forces violated international human rights and humanitarian law in Palestine's occupied Gaza Strip.
