retract

South African Judge Richard Goldstone said he will not seek to quash his report to the United Nations on Israel\’s conduct during the Gaza war, despite his retraction of a key finding. Goldstone told the Associated Press that reports that he told Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai that he would seek to quash the report prepared at the behest of the U.N. Human Rights Council are false. The report presented to the council in September 2009 accused Israel of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity.
