GENEVA — The Palestinian Authority, under heavy pressure from the United States, has withdrawn its support for a U.N. Human Rights Council resolution on alleged war crimes in Gaza, diplomats said Thursday. The resolution endorses a U.N. report that says both Israel and Palestinian militant groups committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during their Dec. 27-Jan. 18 conflict.
U.N. and European diplomats, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter, said the Palestinian delegation’s surprise turnaround means any resolution on the report would likely be delayed until March. Israel and the United States have strongly rejected the findings.
