Israel's reaction to the U.N. Human Rights Council Fact Finding Mission Report

The U.N. Human Rights Council has published its report on the Gaza Operation. The report effectively ignores Israel's right of self defense, makes unsubstantiated claims about its intent and challenges Israel's democratic values and rule of law.

A website has been launched (http://www.mfa.gov.il/GAZAFACTS) which provides factual information addressing the legal and political context of the conflict in Gaza, the issue of Gaza war crimes, the issue of human rights and the investigations into the Israeli military conduct during combat.
