JERUSALEM, Sept 17 AFP - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned a damning UN report on the Gaza war as a "kangaroo court," saying it was biased from the start.
The UN probe said both Israel and Palestinian groups committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during the 22-day war in December-January that Israel launched in response to rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave.
The report was "a kangaroo court; it was fixed from the start," Netanyahu told Israel's Channel 2 television, speaking publicly for the first time on the report.
