Hamas yesterday hailed the UN Human Rights Council’s announcement of the formation of an inquiry commission to investigate Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

In a statement, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said his movement welcomed the Council’s decision to form an independent international team to investigate Israeli war crimes in Gaza. “We call for a quick start to this commission,” he said.

Israel said it would not cooperate with this mission as there is an “anti-Israeli majority in the UNHRC”.
