President Shimon Peres will ask United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to nullify Judge Richard Goldstone’s damning report on the Gaza war in light of the author’s expression of regret regarding some of his claims, sources told Haaretz on Wednesday.

Peres has held talks with a number of senior U.S. officials including President Barack Obama over the course of his visit, and is scheduled to meet with Ban on Friday.

In an op-ed for the Washington Post last week, Goldstone backtracking on his accusation that Israel had targeted during Operation Cast Lead two years ago.
