Bardawil slams PA for saving Israel again from punishment

[ 30/09/2010 - 10:22 AM ]

GENEVA, (PIC)-- Senior Hamas official and lawmaker Salah Al-Bardawil strongly denounced the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah for putting forward a draft resolution in Geneva protecting the Israeli occupation state from any legal action taken against it for its war crimes in Gaza.

"It seems there is a serious conspiracy against the Palestinian people, the blood of the martyred and the wounded and the tragedy of Gaza people," Bardawil said, describing the action taken by the PA representative in Geneva as a national crime.

"What happened was not political discretion, it is a conspiracy and national treason," he added.

The PA mission to the UN human rights council once again intervened last week and delayed action on a report condemning Israel for violating human rights in its war on Gaza.

Palestinian legal sources, for its part, said PA envoy to the UN human rights council, Ibrahim Khreisheh, tabled a draft resolution that would help Israel to escape punishment for its war crimes in Gaza.

The sources added that this council would vote on this draft resolution on Thursday or Friday, warning that such a step would abort Goldstone report.
