Even Netanyahu wants an independent investigation

Despite his tough talk against the Goldstone Report, which he called “distorted,” “a prize for terror,”a “threat” on par with Iran, and said it would “make the UN irrelevant,”   Netanyahu is now “leaning” towards complying with its demand for an Israeli independent investigation into the Gaza War.

“Netanyahu is inclined to accept the justice and foreign ministries’ call for an extra-military inquiry into civilian deaths, aides say. The prime minister is apparently convinced that only an independent probe will convince the international community that Israel is serious about investigating alleged violations of the law of war. “

This should give us hope that even a far right wing Israeli Government does care about international opinion
