Netanyahu: Israel Will Never Allow Its Leaders and Soldiers to Be Tried for War Crimes
[Ha'aretz] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened the Knesset's winter session Monday by blasting the Goldstone Commission's report accusing Israel of committing war crimes during its war against terrorists in Gaza earlier this year. "This distorted report, written by this distorted committee, undermines Israel's right to defend itself. This report encourages terrorism and threatens peace," Netanyahu said. "Israel will not take risks for peace if it can't defend itself." "Israel's leaders and its army are those who defended the citizens of Israel from war criminals." "We will not allow Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni and Ehud Barak, who sent our sons to war, to arrive at the international court in the Hague," he added.
