MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : UN poised to approve war crimes probe into Israel on Gaza, Jerusalem / NEW MOSSAD BOSS!

Pakistan and the Palestinian Authority submitted a resolution on the creation of a fact-finding mission that will be voted on Thursday when the UNHRC holds a special session on the matter in Geneva.

By TOVAH LAZAROFF   – JERUSALEM POST – MAY 26, 2021 09:09 – The United Nations Human Rights Council is expected to establish a commission of inquiry into Israeli actions against Palestinians doing the period leading up to and including the 11-day Gaza War that ended on May 21.

In particular, the committee would investigate Israeli activity in Gaza and Jerusalem as well as the ethnic riots that broke out in mixed cities within sovereign Israel.

Pakistan and the Palestinian Authority submitted a resolution for the creation of a fact-finding mission which will come to a vote on Thursday, when the UNHRC will hold a special session in Geneva. It is expected to receive the majority vote in the 47-member body.

The text calls in particular for accountability for Israel actions.

“The commission would be authorized to make recommendations, in particular on accountability measures, all with a view to avoiding and ending impunity and ensuring legal accountability, including individual criminal and command responsibility, for such violations, and justice for victims,” the Resolution states.

It would explore the “alleged violations of international humanitarian law and all alleged violations and abuses of international human rights law leading up to and since 13 April 2021, and all underlying root causes of recurrent tensions, instability and protraction of conflict, including systematic discrimination and repression based on national, ethnic, racial or religious identity.”

Israel’s mission to the UN in Geneva responded immediately, noting the absence of Hamas’s firing of rockets against Israeli cities and towns.

“No mention of Hamas. No mention of 4300+ rockets,” it stated, adding, “we call on Member States to speak up & oppose this resolution.”

Thursday’s special session will be the 30th one that the UNHRC has held since its inception in 2006, out of which nine focused on Israel. No other country has been the subject of so many special sessions.

There have been at least five fact-finding missions into Israeli military actions in the past, including one on the Hamas-led “Great March of Return” as well as on past Gaza wars.
