Israel rejects multinational inquiry

Israel on Sunday flatly rejected a proposed international inquiry into its deadly commando raid of a Gaza-bound aid ship last week, in which nine activists were killed.
“Israel has the ability and the right to investigate itself, not to be investigated by any international board,” Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the US, told Fox News Sunday.
“I don’t think the United States would want an international inquiry into its military activities in Afghanistan, for example.”
Mr Oren’s remarks came a day after Ban Ki-moon, the secretary-general of the United Nations, proposed establishing a multi-national probe that would be headed by Geoffrey Palmer, the former prime minister of New Zealand and a maritime law expert, according to Israeli government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The offer called for the committee to include representatives from Israel, the US and Turkey, under whose flag the ship in which most of the violence took place was sailing.
Mr Ban’s offer followed criticism of the Obama administration’s role last week in blunting the UN Security Council’s response to the commando raid. A senior official for the Obama administration told the Financial Times that there were no “serious disagreements” between Israel and the US in their private talks over the composition of the panel.
But the White House official added: “What we are seeking is an Israeli investigation that is credible and transparent and would include an international element.”
Meanwhile, the government of Turkey, which has been at loggerheads with the US over its allegedly one-sided role in the crisis, on Sunday strongly backed Mr Ban’s proposal. “This is not an issue between Turkey and Israel, it is a problem between Israel and international community,” Ahmed Davutoglu, Turkey’s foreign minister, told CNN on Sunday. “It is a problem between Israel and international law”.
Mr Davutoglu added that he was disappointed with America’s role in the last week. “Until now, of course, we were expecting a much more proactive approach [from Mr Obama] in responding to this crisis.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli’s prime minister, told cabinet ministers from his right-wing Likud party on Sunday that “nothing has been finalised or decided so far. We have to make these decisions calmly without the pressure of events,” according to a senior official who took part in the meeting.
In addition, Israel would not agree to a “Goldstone-like” inquiry of the raid, referring to the UN-mandated investigation headed by former South African judge Richard Goldstone into Israel’s three-week onslaught in the Gaza Strip that ended in January 2009. Israel had dismissed the resulting report, which had accused it and Hamas of war crimes, as biased and false.
