Israel Prepares to Fight War Crimes Trials after Goldstone Report
[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid - The political-security cabinet on Tuesday instructed the Justice Ministry to form a committee to deal with the prospect of "legal proceedings abroad against the State of Israel or its citizens" in the wake of the Goldstone Commission report on the Gaza war. Prime Minister Netanyahu promised a lengthy battle to "delegitimize" the findings of the commission. Netanyahu has stressed that Israel will be willing to make diplomatic and territorial concessions only if its right to self-defense is guaranteed.
