Israel expected the United Nations to withdraw of a damning report of his behaviour during the Gaza war 2008 and early 2009, Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe in end Ya'alon said on Sunday.
Yaalon's comments came as Israel's Government has been said, a diplomatic and public relations campaign in the next few days, benefit in their favor, start in the article published by Judge Richard Goldstone in the Washington Post on 1 April of the UN investigation, which he in operation cast lead led.
The possibilities when heard in Jerusalem to try and convince Goldstone of United Nations request, that his article has become an official UN document. In the article, Goldstone said that subsequent investigations of Israel more than 400 cases in which soldiers had suspected deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians led him to the conclusion that there no such deliberate attacks on civilians. "If I had then known what I know now," the South African lawyer wrote "The Goldstone report would have been a different document.",
During a briefing said for foreign journalists ya'alon Sunday that Israel are expected that the United Nations to fully withdraw its report on alleged atrocities committed by the Israeli army during the Gaza.
"We hope that Goldstone you will send a letter to the UN Secretary General and the accusations deletes leveled against Israel in his distorted report" Ya'alon said.
For his part, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said yesterday, that "Israel force Goldstone before international forums, in particular with the United Nations must appear."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was even more ambitious in demand that the entire report annulled that something, which is very unlikely. Netanyahu assigned to national security adviser Yaakov Amidror, a joint team of employees of the justice, foreign policy and defence ministries with the formulation of political and legal recommendations according to Goldstone's article set up.
While Netanyahu, said the yesterday's Cabinet meeting that "We will try, some of the damage to undo" and it was his goal "cancelled the report see."
But sources said the Foreign Ministry, in the best circumstances, possible for the UN General Assembly to conclude it could be, that a previous resolution passed a year ago, which fully accepted the Goldstone report adopt a new resolution, is no longer valid.
"In the current international realities, in the light of Israel's standing and the deadlock in the peace process, it is difficult to imagine that such a scenario repeating," a source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, commenting on the previous instance in a UN resolution income - 1991, with the withdrawal of the infamous 1975 General Assembly resolution 3379, which equated Zionism with racism.
In the meantime, Goldstone's was criticized article in the Washington Post of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.
Nabil Abu Rudeina, spokesman for Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas, declaration one that the change in the attitude does not change the fact that Israel massacred civilians in the Gaza Strip the Goldstone and some 1500 Palestinians killed. And in an interview with the Palestinian daily Al-Ayam said Fatah figure Nabil Sha Shaath, Goldstone probably pressure in writing his play was had. Members of the Hamas leadership made similar remarks.
