UN puts off action on Gaza report
The UN Human Rights Council has deferred its response to a report on the recent conflict in Gaza.

---

The council, which since last month includes the US, failed to agree on a draft resolution endorsing the report. It will now be considered in March.

Palestinian officials denied the deferral was a victory for Israel.

It was reported earlier on Friday that the Palestinian Authority had withdrawn its support for a resolution endorsing the report, after strong pressure from Washington, but this was strongly denied by Palestinian officials.
