GCC Chief Welcomes UN General Assembly Adopting Goldstone Report

Riyadh, November 07, SPA -- Secretary General of The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
Abdul Rahman bin Hamad Al Attiyah has welcomed UN General Assembly adopting the
Goldstone Report on Israel's war crimes on the Gaza Strip.

In a press release issued Friday quoted by Qatar News Agency (QNA), Al Attiyah said
that Goldstone's report has repeatedly asserted that Israel committed war crimes
against humanity.

"The unjust siege imposed on Gaza Strip constitutes a policy of collective
punishment that contravenes the Fourth Geneva Convention," he added.

Al Attiyah called on the international community to stand firm against Israeli war
crimes and to punish aggressors and compensate the victims.
