Israel shuns UN rights session on Gaza onslaught
‘Israel has inexplicably shunned a UN Human Rights Council’s special session on the grim situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, and the Israeli military’s devastating offensive against the besieged Gaza Strip last summer.
A source close to the council said on condition of anonymity that Israel’s absence from the meeting in the Swiss city of Geneva on Monday clearly amounted to a boycott.
“We won’t comment on that,” a spokeswoman with the Israeli mission said. The United States also did not take part in Monday’s discussions.’
