Israel to co-operate with UN inquiry
..
Israel had fiercely resisted demands for an independent international inquiry, establishing three internal investigations to head off pressure from the UN, Europe and Turkey.
The UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, said Israel´s agreement to participate in the inquiry he is setting up was an "unprecedented development".
It is the first time Israel has agreed to take part in a UN inquiry into actions involving the country´s military. Israel refused to co-operate with a previous UN inquiry, led by the South African judge Richard Goldstone, into its three-week war in Gaza in 2008-9. That inquiry´s findings were highly damning of Israeli actions.
