Israel Matzav: Surprise! US won't use Security Council veto on Goldstone

Surprise! US won't use Security Council veto on Goldstone

We all saw this coming, didn't we? It's all but official: The Obama administration will not use its Security Council veto to stop the Goldstone Report.

Senior diplomats in New York, meanwhile, said the United States would prefer to support a moderately-phrased resolution on the Goldstone report by the UN Security Council, rather than use its veto power to nix such a resolution.

The Human Rights Council recommended that the report be discussed by the Security Council, but it remains unclear whether this will happen. The White House said on Friday that both Israel and the Palestinians should study the report.

What could go wrong?
